Q: What is a bike rack? Why buy one? What different types of bike racks are available?
A: Bike racks are super convenient accessories that mount to your vehicle and allow for the safe and easy transport of one or more bicycles. If you enjoy riding your bike, then chances are you want to bring your bike along on vacations, or sometimes desire to go for a ride in a place that is not within cycling distance from where you live. This is where bike racks come into play. For not a lot of money you can get a complete system that will work with your car and allow you to haul your bike as far as you can drive.

There are several different designs of bike racks that you can choose from for your vehicle. Roof mounted racks attach to your existing roof rack, or mount directly to the roof and allow you to transport your bikes (usually two) on top of your vehicle. If you frequently use your bike rack this is a great setup because you can permanently leave the rack on your vehicle without affecting vehicle access. This style of rack maximizes rearward visibility and does not impact parallel parking, however it does limit your overhead clearance (watch out in parking garages) and if you are vertically challenged can be difficult to load and unload. Trunk mounted racks strap to the trunk of your vehicle and suspend the bikes over the rear end of the car. These racks are easy to load and unload and are easy to install, however the will make your vehicle harder to parallel park, and will make trunk access more difficult. Hitch style bike racks mount in your towing/receiver hitch or to the bumper, usually on the back of a vehicle, providing a sturdy base for several bikes mounted sideways. These racks are convenient to install and are perfect for long trips. They do add a bit of length to your ride making parking a little harder, and they can impact rear hatch access, but in general they are very user friendly and a good option for transporting two or more bikes. The last option is suction cup style bike racks. These racks make use of unique suction cups that can be safely mounted to nearly any surface on your vehicle so that you can support your bike in an ideal position that works for you to maximize convenience, visibility and access. These racks are usually intended for single bikes but can be doubled up if you have more than one bike to transport. Depending on how much you ride and what type of vehicle you drive you will be able to select the perfect rack from these options to suite your needs.

Named because of their usefulness to people in the contractor and construction trades, if you are a blue collar worker it is difficult to live without one of these racks on your truck. From ladders to lumber, yard maintenance equipment to metal stock, these racks are built to handle rigorous loads and to maximize the utility of your rig. While they are easily removable when you are not on-duty, we frankly like the way the look and think that they add to the utilitarian flavor of any pickup truck.

Q: What is a cargo basket? Why buy one?
A: Cargo baskets are fantastic accessories designed to add functionality to your vehicle by providing additional space for you to store cargo on the outside of your vehicle. Whether you do not have room for the extra ice chest, or you need a place to stash your toolbox for a long road trip, cargo baskets provide the space on the outside so that you can have more room on the inside. Most rack designs boast sturdy metal construction and mount either on the roof of your vehicle or on the back of your vehicle (often utilizing the receiver hitch) for convenient storage that will have you wondering how you ever lived without one of these systems. The baskets are strap friendly so it is easy to secure your load, and they can be installed and removed as needed in no time.
