By 19 June 2017April 30th, 20202017 News, Bowral Classic In Focus Series

Cycling is a social activity that can be enjoyed by the whole family and the more involved, it’s often all the merrier. Sometimes weĀ find ourselves wanting to not only take the road bike further afield, but to transport several family bikes as well.

We recently took a close look at the top tips for transporting road bikes – you can read that articleĀ here. But today itā€™s all about options to help you safely and securely cart all manner of bikes – from balance to BMX, MTB to mumā€™s cruiser, just about any type of bike can be carried by car.

Bowral Classic sponsors Thule are the world leaders in on-car carrying solutions. Established in Sweden in 1942, Thule manufacture a huge range of products that now include more than 50 different bike carriers.

Do you want something to put on the rooftop, on your towball, or another solution? Thule have created this handy &Ā downloadable diagram to see which carrierĀ best suitĀ your needs.Ā Which_carrier_suits_my_bike.pdf

Like we said last time, regardless of what you are carrying on the roof, itā€™s critical to remember itā€™s up there!Ā Be it the kids mountain bike or your prized Bianchi, you donā€™t want to damage your, or a family memberā€™s, pride and joy. A handy tip is to placeĀ a Post It note on the dashboard (you might want to write ‘Look Up’ on it. You couldĀ place a reminder of the steering wheel or dash, or open the sunroof, as a visual reminder, as I do.
