If you are a beginning cyclist that is just starting out then don’t feel bad if you didn’t realize how badly you would need a good quality Audi bike rack for cars. Many cyclists get caught up in purchasing the bike, the shorts, the shoes and the accessories that they fail to determine how they are going to move their newly purchased bicycle around.
We can help you with that, you are going to need a good quality Audi bike rack, but you should be aware that all bike racks are not equal and depending on your vehicle some can be a downright pain in the butt.
Audi bicycle racks for cars can basically be broken up by their basic design.
Audi hitch mount bike racks are bicycle racks mount into the hitch receiver on your car or truck and can hold anywhere from 2 bikes up to as many as 6 bikes that I have seen. The pros of this style of rack are that they are common, economical and easy to install.
Roof mount bike racks are racks that utilize your existing roof rack rails to mount the bike to the vehicle. There are a number of varieties out there that accomplish this task differently, but they all have the same basic function. The upside is that this type of Audi bicycle rack puts the bike up and out of the way of anything. The downside is that bikes can be very heavy and hard to lift to the roof of the vehicle. You also need to watch for low hanging overhead objects.
Truck mount bike racks are racks that can be mounted against the vehicle’s trunk and are contoured and designed so that they can fit just about any vehicle. They are held to the vehicle using ratcheting straps that hold the rack and the bikes quite securely. The upside of these types of racks is that they are very versatile and can fit a number of different vehicles.
The downside is that they are easy to steal. One of the best-selling racks on the market EVER is the Saris Bones bike rack. This Audi bike rack is a trunk mounted design but can easily be adapted to work on the trunk of a car or against the rear hatch of an SUV type vehicle and offer an extremely functional bike rack that also happens to be, in our opinion, one of the best looking Audi bike racks on the market.
