Allen 900B Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-bar Adaptor

Allen 900B Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-bar Adaptor

If you have a bike rack with support arm(s) and your bicycle is secured by being tied down and hanging from those arms by its frame then a horizontal top tube makes the whole process a lot easier.

Some bikes don’t have a horizontal cross-bar, such as ladies and kids frames. Also funky shaped frames with full suspension can often cause difficulty in loading such bikes securely and safely.

You always need to make sure you load all your bicycles safe and secure no matter what frames they have.

The perfect solution is to fix a cross-bar adaptor that creates a solid top tube on your bike and can hang more easily creating a

Softride Bike Racks - Softride Dura Assist Access Review

Softride Bike Racks was established some 17 years ago when Ivor Allsop and his two sons decided one afternoon to design the first hitch mount bike rack and as a consequence Softride Access Bike Racks was born.

Their motivation came from the impossible task Ivor’s wife faced in hauling a bike onto the rooftop of their car. And so the goal was to design a bike rack that would be quick and easy to load bikes onto and at the same time be a rock solid safe carrier.

When the hitch mount at the back solved the problem there was still the challenge of how to get the hitch rack fixed at the back out of the way to

Thule 558P Tandem Bicycle Pivoting Roof Mount Bike Rack Review

Steve — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 10:29:35 +0000

Thule 558P Tandem Pivoting Roof Bike Rack

The Thule 558P Tandem Roof Mount Bike Rack is fork mounted, the front forks clamp to a skewer which is fixed onto the rack and holds the bike rock solid. At the same time the back wheel is tied down into the tray.

However that’s where the similarity with other fork mount bike racks ends. The Thule 558P has an innovative design which allows the tandem to pivot at 90-degrees clamped onto the front skewer. The result of this design is to allow one person to easily load a tandem bicycle or recumbent onto the roof rack single-handed which is a really clever design.
