Ask ten SUV owners about carrying bikes and you will hear the same thing: the roof works, but it is not the easy option. The hatch stays open for your cooler, your dog and your duffel, you can carry more than two bikes, and you do not need a tow hitch. What you trade for … Read more

The floor of a two-car garage is the most expensive storage space you own, and bikes are usually the first thing squatting on it. Every bike you lift to the ceiling gives back a patch of floor roughly the size of a parking spot, and most of the best racks for the job cost less … Read more
