Bicycle car rack safety tips

Posted on

If you often transport your prized bike on the roof of your car, you might be constantly worried about the day you forget it's there and end up in a situation where your car and bike can't both fit—usually with the bike taking the hit. You're feeling great after a long ride, and the thought of relaxing at home sounds perfect. As you pull up to your house, press the garage door opener, and start driving in, the sound of something crunching snaps you back to reality—no! Your bike is still on the roof, and you just drove into the garage. Ugh, “pick your favorite curse word.” As the shock sets in, you hesitate to step out and check the damage. The moment you realize what’s happened, your peaceful afternoon is gone, just like the carbon frame that just met the garage door. So, how can you avoid this nightmare from ever happening again? One effective tip is to place an object in front of the garage door. This forces you to stop and notice your bike before entering. However, this method isn’t foolproof—it relies on no one moving the object, which could happen if a neighbor or family member thinks it’s an obstruction. Another idea is to hang bright-colored tape from the bottom of the garage door. When the door opens, the tape serves as a visual reminder: “STOP, your bike is on top!” Combined with placing the garage door remote on the passenger side floor or seat, this increases your chances of remembering to remove the bike before driving in. Still, these tips aren’t 100% reliable. That’s why it’s smart to have a backup plan. If all else fails, remember that Velosurance has your back. Even a brief lapse in attention can lead to costly damage, but with a bicycle insurance policy from Velosurance, you’re protected.
