It's a fallacy that if you have a truck you don't need a bike rack. Bike racks aren't just to create space on a car to carry cycles that wouldn't fit elsewhere--they can also keep the bicycles in prime condition and prevent damage to the vehicle. If you have a pickup truck and you have, in the past, simply placed your bike or bikes flat in the bed, there is a better way.
Truck mount bike racks allow you to stand the bikes upright in the bed of the truck. You can fit a rack to a pickup truck bed for one to five bicycles. You will find that, when properly racked, bicycle pedals don't damage spokes, brakes stay unbent and in good working order, rims don't get dinged by the frames of other bikes, and the paint jobs of both the bikes and the truck stay in better condition.
Trunk Mount Bike Rack Benefits
Here at BikeRackShops.com, we carry truck mount bike racks by Thule and Hollywood. Our Thule Bed-Rider is a telescoping rack that lets you load and lock a bike without incurring any damage to your truck bed. This rack is made of corrosion-resistant aluminum, fits both full-size truck beds and compact truck beds, and uses rubber feet to hold the load bar in place so you don't have to drill even one hole to carry your bike.
Another truck mount rack option is the Hollywood two-bike rack. This rack can be customized to hold up to five bikes in the bed of your truck and without any of the dinging and damage of throwing them in there without a way to hold them upright and properly separated. Here at BikeRackShops.com, we are the go-to resource for riders looking for a better way to load their cycles.
