Hitch mount bike racks are just one of many bike rack styles, yet they are one of the most popular options. With hitch mount bike racks, the bikes are accessible, you don't need to drill or permanently install any frames or bars on your vehicle, and modern hitch mount bike racks even fold down so that you can get into your trunk. Here at BikeRackShops.com, we make it easy for you to find the right bike rack for your cycling needs and for your car's dimensions.
Before you can shop for hitch mount bike racks, you must know the size of your car's square hitch receiver area (the square metal "tube" part of your hitch that sticks straight out of the back of your car and that is parallel to the ground). Most cars have square hitch receivers that are one-and-a-quarter or two inches wide. Measure the width of your hitch and then log on to our hitch mount bike racks web page to browse the racks that are right for you.
Hitch Mount Bike Racks Make Loading Easy
With hitch mount bike racks, the bicycles you carry will be held away from your vehicle. This means your roof is free for carrying skis, hiking gear, coolers and other items. It also means that your bikes can be accessed by virtually everyone in your family, since they will be just a few feet off the ground.
The hitch mount bike racks we carry at BikeRackShops.com come with separate cradles for each bike so that the bikes don't rub together and do damage to each other. If you're really concerned about the appearance of an expensive road bike, or you simply want to keep your bike looking its best, we also carry foam protector blocks that you can use to further separate the cycles.
