I’m at a point in my life where I’m ready to cut down on partying. I don’t want to officially hang up my “cutting loose” habits, but I can only take so many yawn-filled mornings of bloodshot eyes and crooked smiles. I am ready to put those nights of loud clubs and expensive bar tabs behind me. Why the sudden lifestyle change you might ask? The answer—mountain biking. I think taking up this sport will jump start my active, healthy lifestyle.
Growing up, I have always been into bikes. It all started when I was six. My parents tried teaching me to ride a bike in a big field near our house—not the best idea. Have you ever tried riding through a field, let alone on a child’s bike with small wheels? It’s nearly impossible. Every bump, rock, and stick bounced me off the bike and landed my **** on the ground. My parents’ rationale was that falling in a field would be better than hitting the unforgiving pavement, which makes sense. But it is also nearly impossible to ride on this terrain, especially when first learning.
So one afternoon, I took off my training wheels and brought my bike into the driveway. I sat down on the seat, put my one foot on a pedal, pushed off and started riding. And as they say, the rest is history. I got older and picked up BMX; bunny hopping curbs and cruising around on pegs. When I hit college, I was over my dirt jumping phase, and got a road bike—pedaling for miles at a time. So it’s no surprise that mountain biking caught my eye– which is a sort of hybrid amalgamation of extreme maneuvers from BMX and long rides of road biking.
Back to my life story, I graduated college, picked up and moved to California. This state is absolutely beautiful. Last weekend, my girlfriend and I drove out of the city and spent a few hours exploring and admiring the west coast’s landscape. We hiked through a state park, which was awesome—but I’m not much of a hiker. I need something to get my heart pumping. We did discover a ton of mountain bike trails that the state park offered. And that’s when it hit me. Mountain biking looks like a blast! These guys flew past us on these gnarly mountain bikes, equipped with full suspension and rugged tires. The east coast didn’t offer trails like the west coast, which is probably why I never got into the sport. Now that I have all this terrain, I want to take full advantage.
So I started looking into bikes and am dieing to get one, but I ran into two problems. The bikes are very expensive and I drive a small Subaru whose seats don’t fold down. Plus, I wouldn’t want dirty, muddy tires all over my interior. I talked with a coworker who mountain bikes and he offered to lend me his old bike until I get my own. Great! But I need to get to the trails. My car doesn’t have a roof rack, so I looked for bike racks that mount to your trunk on the internet. If I can find a rack that mounts easily, I’m sure I will have no problem getting to the trails a few days a week and getting some exercise.
There’s few investments that will cost you so little and deliver so much than a car bike rack.
If you’re a bicyclist, you already know the pleasures and advantages of bike riding. Biking is an excellent way to lose weight, or more importantly to maintain once you’ve lost that weight. And it’s also a most enjoyable way to see the sights of a city. But biking is a lot more enjoyable if you can get out to the parks or out into the suburbs where you can enjoy the quiet of nature.
If you hesitate to bike because you don’t like being on your own, there are plenty of biking clubs eager for members. By joining a bike club you’ll meet people who share the same kind of interests. You’ll have an incentive to go out biking on a regular basis. It’s a win win situation.
The whole wide world is before you – at least, the parts of it that you can reach with your car. By taking advantage of your mechanical wheels you can get out to the trails in the mountains, woods, or even on the beaches.
But if you’re going on a long distance journey, you’ll need to transport your bikes somehow, and the perfect way to do that is with a car bike rack.
You’ve spent a lot of money on your bike – whether it’s one designed to take you over hill and dale, or one designed to take you careening down mountain trails – and you don’t want it damaged or scratched before you even get it out onto the trails.
You’ve also spent a lot of money on your car, truck or SUV, and you don’t want that unnecessarily scratched, or stained with dirt or grease.
So you need to invest in a car bicycle rack as well.
The Car Bike Carrier for Every Vehicle
There is a bike rack out there that will fit any car, any truck, any SUV.
There are three types of bike rack on the market. The most common rack you see is the rear-mounted rack, which is attached to the trunk of your car. This type of rack generally only holds up to 3 bicycles.
Also available is the hitch rack, sometimes called the receiver rack. This type of car bike rack fits over your car hitch, which keeps the bikes further away from your trunk, and you can generally hold up to five bicycles.
Those two racks are the most popular, but some people worry about being rear-ended in an accident, which would of course do a considerable amount of damage to their bicycles. So they elect to get a roof rack.
The roof rack, also called a top rack, is just what it seems – a rack that fits on the top of your car. Bikes are safer up there if you’re afraid of a casual fender bender. But you do have to have the strength to lift the bike up or down from its perch.
There are so many styles of car bike racks, so many manufacturers of quality, that you’ll be sure to find something that fits your needs at the price you can afford, and it will protect your investments in car and bike as well. So don’t delay, go out and get a car bike rack today.

When you’re going to try a new sport, you don’t want to rush out and spend a lot of money on brand new equipment until you know whether or not you’ll continue with the activity. If you’re going to take up biking – mountain biking, touring, racing, whatever – there’s quite a bit of gear that you can get at second hand which will serve your purpose.
You do have to be careful about the bicycle itself, however. In biking it is all about the bike. If you buy one that is a poor fit, it will spoil your ride and you’ll be tempted to give up the sport without giving it a fair chance.
Once you’ve found you enjoy bike riding, however, you’ll want to expand your horizons. The best way to do this is to get a bike rack for your car, so that you can go exploring your entire state – or even further afield!
You may wonder why you should buy a bike rack when you can just as easily stick your bike into the back of your car whenever you want to go somewhere. Well, you’ll soon find that it’s a hassle to try to fit your bike into the cramped trunk of your car. You’ll probably have to take off one of the wheels, you might scratch the bike as you’re trying to get it in or out of that confined space, and then you’ve got to put the wheel on again. If you’ve got an SUV you can put the bike in the back with greater ease – where dirt and oil from the wheels can damage your upholstery, and where the bike can rattle about making irritating noises.
No, the bike rack is the way to go. There are two main designs: the type that goes on the roof of the car or SUV, and the type that is attached to the rear of the car.
