We love to explore new trails! So we have been driving longer and further out, sometimes on bumpy roads. Wish our car had a hitch! But there are other bike rack options. Trunk mount racks may work for many cars but may cause scratches. Our SUV already had roof bars, so in the absence of a hitch, we settled for a roof bike rack. It was a bit of a struggle with the roof rack at first but now we are used to it. A wide plastic stool that’s high enough to reach the rack without straining is a good idea. We wouldn’t do it if we had heavy bikes or neck/back problems!
Any suggestions?
