Transport bikes and equipment on the bike at the best price

Items that help us transport our bike or equipment that we want to carry on the bike.

Bike transport accessories

Bicycle transport accessories are widely used in different versions, whether it is bicycle luggage racks, or some types of bicycle transport accessories that are housed in the bikes and on which we can place saddlebags or bicycle baby carriers, they are metal bicycle transport accessories that can be placed in various ways, either bolted directly to the bike frame or with a clamp to the seat post. Other bicycle transport accessories are car bike racks, which are bicycle transport accessories that are housed in cars and are used to transport our bicycles on trips or trips. These bicycle transport accessories have different types of attachments to cars, since they can be ball-mounted car bicycle racks or roof-mounted or tailgate car bicycle racks. In this type of bicycle transport accessories we can find many different models and brands. Other bicycle transport accessories are the bicycle carrier suitcase, which are bicycle transport accessories in which we store our bikes to be able to transport them on trains, planes or other transport, properly protecting our bicycles.

Bike rack

The bicycle luggage racks are used to house both bicycle panniers and bicycle baby carriers. It is important to know the size of our bicycles, since the bicycle racks can vary if the bicycle has a disc brake, if it is 29 inches or if our bicycle does not come with the frame prepared to screw the bicycle rack, for this reason we recommend you advise with the professionals to choose the right bicycle rack. Also, if your bike is made of carbon, we do not recommend mounting a bicycle rack, since, due to the weight and tension, it can end up damaging the frame in the long run. Another of the bicycle luggage rack options are those that are housed in the seat post without the need to screw it to the frame, in case our bicycles are not prepared for it.

Bike baby carrier

Bicycle baby carriers are used to transport children when we use the bicycle and are widely used bicycle transport accessories. Depending on the bicycle we have, we can mount a type of bicycle baby carrier, since some bicycle carriers are fixed to the frame by means of a piece that includes two steel bars to fasten the bicycle carrier to our bikes. There are also other models of bicycle baby carriers that are housed in the bicycle rack and do not need to mount fixed structures on the bicycles. It is important to see the maximum weight that the bicycle baby carrier recommends for use and not exceed it for safety.

Car bike rack

The main types of car bike racks are the ball-mounted car bike racks, which are hooked to the rear ball of the car and are the safest and most used, also the rear-gate car bike racks that are hooked to the car's tailgate by means of straps, another type Car bike racks are those that go to the roof, which can be fixed to the upper bars of the car to transport bicycles on the roof. These are the 3 main types of car bike racks that are used in the market.

Bike rack suitcase

The bicycle carrier suitcase is a bicycle transport accessory, which serves to protect our bicycles and be able to transport them in means of transport such as trains or planes. The bicycle carrier case can be rigid or a semi-rigid bicycle carrier case that can also be used to transport the bicycle, although with less security.

TRANSPORT

Any good urban cyclist wants to do everything with his bike and go anywhere with it. We go to work by bicycle, to study by bicycle, to the market, to any unforeseen event that arises we go out by bicycle, and if we meet friends…by bicycle! Normally it is usual that in one of these outings we have to transport something with us or even move or deliver some package, and yet we do not do it in the best or even the least safe way.

When we go to the market by bicycle we can imagine that transporting the purchase will be an easy task, we only have to buy what is necessary to be able to return home with two bags and place each of them on both sides of the handlebar. But when we start the journey back home, or see that it turned out not to be just two bags, we realize that this road is not going to be as easy as we thought. With the slightest movement of the handlebar, the bags begin to swing from one side to the other, causing us to lose control until we end up colliding with something or someone we find along the way, or even the bags end up falling to the ground.

After a few more situations like this, we then considered how we could carry our luggage. A decision that will have to be carefully considered in order to fully enjoy cycle tourism according to our needs, so we will have to stop carefully to analyze the type of transport that we want or usually use, if we are talking about daily transport of a specific merchandise, if we usually carry little or a lot and for example, the usual size of them. This does not mean that the different ways of carrying luggage can only be used for a certain trip, but, for example, it does not make much sense to have front panniers before rear ones if we are going to carry little material, since the front ones will be for when we start carrying more merchandise. That is why, first of all, as we have already mentioned, we must assess the use that we are going to give it.

On a bicycle you can carry almost everything you can imagine. It's just about legs, imagination... and a few drops of legality. And although there are many options and possible load combinations for our bicycle, we must bear in mind that the more space we have, the more unnecessary things we will carry, the more weight we will have to bear and with less ease and comfort we will be able to move around our city.

Some of the options that exist to transport materials on our bike or those that are usually more common or used, are some such as the following:

bags and panniers

Bicycle carrier

Luggage racks and baskets

child seats
