Vertical Cycle Racks
Straight up: The Brilliance of a Vertical Bike Rack
To understand why vertical cycle racks for cars are such a great idea, you need to know that we’re not talking about a bike’s usual position, with both wheels on the ground and saddle and handlebars in the air. Let’s call that upright, and it is, if you will, the obvious way of doing it. But upright racks tend to be on the car roof, difficult to get at and generally a bit of a palaver: it’s not the best way. Read More
What we mean by a vertical bike car rack is where the bike is hanging, with its front wheel reaching for the sky and the rest suspended below in an orderly fashion. That’s the key phrase here: in an orderly fashion because you know how unruly a bicycle can be. The pedals and handlebars get in the way, the front wheel swivels and the thing won’t stand up on its own. In addition to that, a bike takes up more than its fair share of square metres, considering how little the good ones weigh.
The bicycle is an enigma, a one-off in the great world of random shapes. It’s a progression from the penny-farthing, but even the slickest professional bikes have that quirky layout to contend with. And as for balance, forget it: even the most expert of riders have no control over their bike when they’re not on it.
That’s why our style of vertical cycle racks is not better known (yet), because it took a bit of lateral thinking to realise this was the way to do it. Our founders – a father and son, both keen cyclists with design and engineering talent – created these racks to make their own lives easier, as well as those of the great cycling community.
When you see one of our Atlantic Bike Racks doing its stuff, it makes perfect sense. The simplicity of the concept is amazing: using the front wheel to hang it by, just sitting it in a rectangular frame, and securing the whole thing with a couple of quick-on, quick-off straps. This way it takes up minimal room. With the rack fixed to the rear of your car, the bike doesn’t hang out the sides, doesn’t make you a deceptively long vehicle, and it’s easy to load and unload.
