Bike Racks And More

If you're a biker, you probably already own a bike rack and have it installed on your vehicle. But for those who don't own one and are looking to take up biking this summer, consider the below tips when shopping for a bike rack for your Chevrolet.

Hitch Bike Racks
Hitch racks are one of the best bike rack options available because they don't affect your vehicle's aerodynamics or cause noticeable drops in fuel efficiency. They also make it easier to load and unload your bikes. Installation is simple once you have a hitch installed; it's usually a simple connect and disconnect process.

Roof Bike Racks
Roof bike racks require a vehicle to have both a roof rack and a bike rack. Once you have the roof rack installed, the bike rack should be easy to install and uninstall. The drawback to roof bike racks is they create more drag. Depending upon how much drag is created, your vehicle could lose fuel efficiency.

Trunk-mounted Racks
Trunk-mounted racks are alternative options for cars that don't have hitches. Like the hitch rack, they don't affect aerodynamics that much, they offer easy bike access and installation is pretty simple. The drawback to this type of rack is that it affects your trunk access when installed.
