Welcome to the Home of Truck Bike Rack Gear!

Welcome to THE truck bike rack website. The information contained within this site is purely intended for those people who have a bike (or bikes) and a truck. If this describes you, then you may require a truck bike rack to help you transport your bikes wherever you wish to go.

A truck bike rack is constructed using a series of interconnecting bars and rods that are so designed to sit on your truck bed and house your bikes in such a way as to prevent them moving around.

The Benefits of a Truck Bike Rack

The principal benefit of truck bike racks is that they will stop the possibility of your bikes and your truck being scratched. Since the rack is securely fastened to the truck bed, and the bikes are in turn secured to the bike rack, none of the gear will budge. This effectively means that your bikes when you unload them from the truck bike rack at your destination they (as well as the truck) are in the same condition as when you loaded them onto the truck.

Another major benefit of truck bike rack equipment is that it makes transporting your bikes even easier if you are towing a camper or trailer and consequently do not have the space available for them on your hitch.

Varieties of Truck Bike Racks

There are a number of different types of truck bike rack available to buy nowadays. Some of these require that you physically attach the bike rack to your truck with screws and/or bolts: ergo they require some drilling into your truck. Others require that you remove the front wheel of any bike you wish to fit into the rack. Of course, there are many truck bike racks that require neither drilling nor the removal of any wheel, meaning that you simply fit the truck rack and pop your bikes in and out of it with the minimum of effort or fuss.

If you are seriously considering purchasing a truck bike rack, you will of course need to factor in how many bikes you presently want to carry… and how many you might like to carry in the future. Bear in mind also that nowadays many bike rack truck sets also include locking devices to protect against theft.
