Places of the local bike shop and / or REI store are great for moving a rack. Must be able to all the details, how do you explain your bicycle with a particular system.

In addition to what he said, Paul M, you might consider the following points.

Hitch racks are largely behind the wheels of the vehicle outside the air flow. Therefore, you might get a little better mileage with a headstock. Consider carefully how the network has a bike, though. Some allow a simple assembly of bicycles and keep them safe. Others are little difficult to handle. When you enter the rear of the vehicle while the wheels on the rack so that the wrinkles, but should not completely off the road. Yakima, Thule, Saris racks smoothly are very good.

Roof Rack the bike completely out of their way to the back door, but put them right into the project. Thus many miles per gallon will eliminate mileage. Function of height is your mini-van, and the height can be difficult for you and bicycles from the roof. (You may need somerry small stool with you.) The good news is a variety of images are made, some or all types of motorcycles block very safe. Other options, such as Paul M, there are an infinite number of plant systems and roof racks. If you have a flexible pricing, you need a roof rack is the right way. Check Yakima and Thule. Saris also makes friendly that your journey Yak or Thule rack fit.

Trunk racks are the cheapest option, but a huge pain to use. On the one hand, they begin their motorcycles as they are made and paint rack. The belts also the color of his car broken. If you set the straps to make vibrating with the wind and a lot of noise.

Most cases racks are made for 2 or 3 bikes. You can sit on a rack 4 bikes shape, but I've never seen or used book.

Most truck racks are made for adults are racing to accommodate size. For children's bikes, mountain bikes require, etc. in a suitcase rack creativity and constraint. Because of the unusual items Hangi endsng motorcycles, the number of bicycles that are reached in the rack, be limited.

Remember to enter and leave through the back door of the van, where he assembled a suitcase rack.

It may sound door hull and hatred, in fact, I do. Nothing has made my life, as always, makes a roof rack. Sometimes have to carry more than my bike rack housing. Exit fears and Porter (on its own ugly way) that meets its purpose.

If you want a rack, I would go to your bike shop (and / or REI) and take a look at the trunk door with this business. Tell them what types of bicycles, which is to move carefully if and how you can get 4 bikes on the rack. Buy only after taking a wise decision.

In any case, hope that helps with your decision.

Trailer hitch racks are very nice, but you need a hook, are robust and secure. But you can not open the back door with the bicycle. $ 150-250 for the rack. $ 150-200 for the first payment (if you have one)

Roof bars are great, but can be expensive ($ 300-500) is sometimes difficult to raise and lower. Accessories are endless with roof racks, boxes, ski, kayak carriers, etc., all additional costs. for brands such as Yakima or Thule

Luke racks are less expensive ($ 75-200). were able to tailgate his belt. That are less certain that the roof or media team, but are much cheaper. Search for names such as saris. who believe they are very nice hatch racks. In addition, you can not open the back door with the bicycle.

Anyway, there are many options and cost differences. Everything depends on the number of transportation planning and budget. You can also craigslist.org for used things.

good luck hope this helps /

Racks are like the Thule T2 can be extended to take into account 4. Although it is expensive. Racks underhook say they have 4, which is really hard to get to 4 bikes. If there is enough space in the truck, a bicycle and 3, there are on the hanging rack smoothly.
