I lost a bike on a rough stretch of I-40 two years ago, and I have never underestimated an RV ladder bike rack since. After that trip, our team spent three months mounting, loading, and driving with every rack we could get our hands on. We logged over 2,400 miles of test road to find … Read more

Taking bikes on the road with your camper is one of the best ways to explore once you reach your destination, but doing it wrong can destroy a bicycle, crack a bumper, or worse. Our team spent weeks digging into RV owner reviews, Reddit threads, and spec sheets to find the best bike racks for … Read more

I drove my last road trip with two bikes stuffed inside a sedan, wedged against the backseat like puzzle pieces that refused to fit. That weekend pushed me to find a better way to carry bikes without a hitch on the back of my car. If your vehicle doesn’t have a trailer hitch receiver, your … Read more

I tested ten of the most popular hitch mounted cargo carriers for bikes across three months of weekend trips, grocery runs, and one cross-state haul to see which ones actually hold up. Our team drove more than 2,400 miles with bikes, camping gear, and even 50-pound e-bikes strapped to the back of an SUV, a … Read more

Last summer, I drove 740 miles to a gravel race in Vermont with two carbon road bikes strapped to my roof rack, rain hammering the windshield for the last three hours. By the time I arrived, one fork mount had shifted, my shoes were soaked from a poorly sealed duffel, and I spent the first … Read more

If you have ever mounted a bike rack only to find your rear spare tire is in the way, you already understand why hitch extenders for bike racks exist. I have been there myself, standing in a parking lot with my Jeep Wrangler, watching my Thule rack fold down because my 35-inch spare tire sat … Read more

I still remember the first time I tried to deadlift my 68 lb e-bike into a truck bed without a ramp. I made it about halfway up before my lower back said “nope,” and I nearly dropped a $4,000 bike onto the asphalt. That’s the moment most e-bike owners realize loading ramps for electric bikes … Read more

I remember the first time I bolted a bike rack onto a set of crossbars that were borderline too narrow for my car. The entire rack tilted on the highway, the front wheel wobbled, and I white-knuckled the drive home. That weekend spent swapping crossbars taught me one thing: the bars you pick are the … Read more

I pulled into my driveway last spring with two muddy mountain bikes hanging off the back of my Camry, a foam noodle wedged under the top tube, and a grin I couldn’t wipe off for an hour. That was the moment I realized sedan owners don’t have to settle for hatchback-only rack advice. After 30 … Read more
