If you purchase a bike transportation device, whether it's a bike box, enclosed carrier, or bumper rack, you expect your bicycles to arrive safely at their destination with little to no work. While essentially this is true, there's some things you need to know to avoid before you hit the open road.

First and foremost, you need to determine the design of your rack, which includes finding out the preferred method of loading your bike; most often times this will be by the frame. Although this is the most common practice, we've found that racks that are designed to transport by the wheels are much more secure. 

Distribute weight equally. Set yourself up for success by loading your bikes evenly, this will help avoid sway and potential loss of goods.
