Bike Transport

Finding the right way to carry out triathlon bike transport can be tricky, because this kind of cycle is not just going to be compatible with any old bike rack designed for more common road and mountain models. That is why you should consider getting a triathlon bike rack which will cater to the specific dimensions and properties of this class of bicycle. The type of bike rack you buy will differ depending on the type of vehicle you have, the number of bikes you need to transport and the distance you are travelling. The first type is the roof rack, which will sit securely atop your vehicle and keep bikes securely stored and strapped down. Brands like Thule create racks of this type which are relatively affordable, although if your vehicle is quite tall then lifting bikes overhead may be a pain.

A rear mounted bike rack which attached to the back of your vehicle might be an option, in part because prices can be cheaper and access is much easier. Be aware that these racks can restrict your vision out of the rear window and make it tough to access your boot. Of course the more advanced models take this second point into consideration and can pivot away to allow for easy opening, even when packed with bikes.

Triathlon bikes can be delicate and you will also want to think about the integrity of your vehicle and avoid scratches and scrapes on the paintwork, so consider these possibilities when investing in a rack for transport.
