Odds are some of these locations would be even more exhilarating to cruise over in on your bicycle, gliding through the air with a breeze through your hair and all that good stuff.

Alas, we come to transportation. How the heck are you supposed to get your bike, possibly even multiple bikes, to and from wherever you’re going? Unless you have a pick-up truck of some kind, or an unusually large van to stuff the bikes into, you’re going to need some equipment.

There are a lot of options out there for you to hitch up your bikes and lug them across around the country. Most of them offer a reliable basic functionality, and some offer even more reliability and versatility. Here’s a comprehensive list of the best options for your vehicle.

Yakima Industries started out as a small company based out of, you guessed it, Yakima, Washington. It was a little machine shop, purchased in 1979 by Steve Cole and Don Banducci, lovers of kayaking and cycling. With a goal to make moving recreational equipment bigger and better, they moved the business and started focusing on attaching recreational items to cars.

Yakima started out as a private company, offering their services only to big events and companies. Once they opened up their services to everyday biking enthusiasts like you and I, their vast options and quality were released to real acclaim.

They offer everything from roof racks for up to 4 bikes, also offering modular attachments. Just working with a sedan? Yakima has you covered there too, creating a wide variety of affordable attachments that carry up to 45 pounds per bike.

Whichever option you choose, you can rest assured any of these will get your stuff safely from point a to point b. There are only a handful of weeks left to the summer, so make sure you get out there and soak up some sun, preferably cruising on a bike you’ve driven 100 miles using your fancy new bike rack.
