Rooftop bike carriers allow road racers, mountain bikers and cycling hobbyists on vacation to transport their bicycles on the roof of the car. Transporting a bike in this manner eliminates the possibility of chips and cracks to the frames brought on by pebbles and debris from the road, which is a common problem with bike carriers that mount to the trunk of the vehicle as opposed to its roof. Of course, not all rooftop bike carriers are created equal, and to find the best rooftop bike carrier, you must look not only to your car's make and model for compatibility, and the kind of mount you prefer.

Efficient, Hassel-Free Design

The Advantage BedRack Truck Bike Rack allows you to get off the trail and back on the road fast and conveniently. Most bicycles have long since come with quick release hubs for removing tires, but removing tires is an extra step in transporting bikes, and what do you do with tires once removed? Forget the extra steps and storage questions. With the Advantage BedRack you can leave your tires on. Just roll the rear tire of your bikes into place and secure them with the adjustable securing bar and you are ready to roll. Another great advantage of the BedRack is that unlike some other bike carriers, it does not require the use of your trailer hitch. This allows you to transport up to four bikes while keeping your trailer hitch free for hauling your other trailer toys. Additionally, owners can remove the BedRack from their truck bed at any time to provide a light weight, but sturdy standalone bike rack.

About Allen Bike Racks
In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family’s bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.

Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens’ tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick’s son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.
