  • In this video, Chuck Gartrell shows you how easy it is to install a bike rack on a car for travel. These racks are easy to use, set up and mount most any kind of bicycle. They can be attached to a hatchback, standard boot of a car. The one shown in the video is by Saris and can carry up to three bikes safely.

    If you reading this once you put the bike on check the straps again. Often one tends to pop out once the weight of the bike is added.

    but how do you put the bike on the rack and secure it. Also, doesn't the rack obscure the licence plate?

    Can you open the boot door once installed? Some other cheaper models do....

      Get a quality security cable
      Find solid area under rear of vehicle
      Padlock loop to under carriage
      Run cable through bikes and padlock
      I use a fairly thick multi woven braided cable
      Will distract the common thief
      Not pro thief
      Cables can be cut
      Location when parking plus time of day plays a big part as well
      I'm a veteran Police officer and recommend good common sense be used if leaving bikes on rack unattended

    I thought we aren't supposed to attach a bike rack to a spoiler. ?
    I'm in all kinds of upset because I didn't realize I can't use it in my car due to spoiler. ☹️

    It does not appear that you can open the hatchback when this rack is attached, is that correct?

    I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...

    It would have been quite helpful if you had mentioned the name/brand of the rack and put that in the description. All I can hear is "saurus" rack.

    The upper straps will brake the rear fibreglass spoiler for sure, and besides the spoiler you will lose your bikes and the bike carrier as well, and you can create a huge accident if it happens while driving in a highway.
    No, I don’t recommend to fix a bike rack as shown in this video.

    Loosen up too easily
    Side straps slide down on my vehicle
    Not a rack for non trunk style vehicles
