Customer SupportWhat are bike racks
Bike racks are devices that attach to vehicles and provide a great solution for transporting bikes over longer distances where you can’t simply carry or even ride them. They provide a secure, stable and safe way to carry bikes on your vehicle.
This is beneficial for several reasons, including the ability to take your bike with you on long trips so you can freely and blissfully explore new trails or bike paths, as well as prevent damage to both your bike and car. If not properly secured, there is the possibility of the bike scratching the paint off your vehicle. Not only this, but a bike rack will free up precious space inside the car, making the journey more comfortable and convenient for all.
At Browns Outdoors, we supply a wide range of Thule bike racks including:

What to look for when choosing a bike rack
With a variety of different bike racks available on the market, there are some factors we recommend considering when making your decision:
Your budget
Ensuring you get value for money is obviously important. You’ll be able to find bike racks across a wide variety of price points online, so you’re not stuck for choice. Just make sure you stick with what you know you can afford. We stock roof mounted, towbar mounted and rear mounted bike racks.
The type of car you own
It’s critical to consider the type of vehicle you’ll be transporting the bikes on, as not all racks fit all cars. You can buy boot-mounted bike racks and tie-on bike racks, but it’s crucial to ensure that they are compatible with your car before making a purchase. To do so, carefully review the product specifications and dimensions online or seek assistance from one of our friendly team. Tow bar mounted bike racks might also be a strong contender.
Your bikes
Decided where you want to store your bikes? Now it’s time to decide how many and the type of bikes you’ll be transporting. The maximum weight limit for each bike varies depending on the rack’s style and durability. For example, some roof bike racks and boot bike racks can only support a maximum weight of 15 kg.
Ease of installation and use
Of course, if you’re someone who has never used a car rack before, or wouldn’t generally consider yourself ‘handy’, an important factor to consider is the ease of installation and use. You want loading and unloading to be as simple as possible. Generally, the installation of the bike rack should be a straightforward and uncomplicated process, requiring minimal adjustments and tools. The weight of the rack is a critical factor in its ease of installation, with lighter racks being more desirable.
Security
Last but certainly not least, security. Whilst some bike racks do offer anti-theft measures, others don’t – so you’ll want to weigh this up in the purchasing decision. It’s recommended that you choose a rack style that firmly attaches to your car, rather than one that is strapped on.
