10.4. Bicycle Transport by Car
Transporting your bicycle is very easy. Nearly every car accessory deal-
er and car company offer carrier systems
that allow the transport of a
bicycle without disassembly. The usual design involves rails fixed to the
roof of the car onto which the bicycles are fixed with clamps gripping the
down tubes. These systems are not suitable for light-weight aluminium
frames or carbon frames.
Rear carriers are becoming more and more popular. Their big advantage
over roof carriers is that you do not have to lift up the bicycles so high to
attach them.
Whatever system you opt for, make sure it complies with the relevant
safety standards of your country.
Read the operating instructions and observe the maximum load capac-
ity and recommended or prescribed driving speed.
Please make sure the lights and the number plate of your car are not
hidden from view. For some carriers a second exterior rear view mirror
may be necessary.
Caution:
Bear in mind that your car has
a greater overall height with
the bicycle on it. Measure the
overall height and place a sign
stating the height somewhere
in the cockpit or on the
steering wheel so that it can
be easily seen.
Caution:
If your bicycle frame has
large-diameter or non-circular
tubes made of aluminium
or CRP tubes (e.g. oval or
aero tubes), do not clamp
your bicycle with the usual
clamps to the carrier system
of your car.
Note:
Damage to carbon frames
caused by clamping claws
is excluded from warranty/
guarantee.
Danger: Do not buy a carrier on which the bicycle has to
be mounted upside down, i.e. with the handlebars
and saddle fixed face down to the carrier. This way of fastening the bicycle
exposes handlebars, stem, saddle and seat post to extreme stress during
transport. Risk of breakage!
