Bike rack mystery - finally solved...
I have been searching on and off over the past few years for a bike rack for my car. Apparently I don't have a normal car because finding a rack that fits has evolved into quite a mystery. I didn't want a roof carrier and I don't have a hitch, so that rules out 2 out of the 3 types. It leaves the trunk rack, which shouldn't be a big deal. Except for my car, it is! The trunk of my car is not metal and many brands say they are not compatible with the fact that my car appears to be constructed out of plastic or some other crappy material. Also, I have this cool spoiler on the trunk. Yeah, it's cool until you're trying to fit a bike rack over it. That's when you realize it's actually a rather large spoiler and the damn thing is in the way. Someone gave me a really nice Saris bike rack awhile back because she wasn't using it and she knew that I would. But it wouldn't fit over the spoiler so it wound up on the back of my hubby's car. That's nice for him. But, we tend to ride at different times because of our current work schedules and I typically don't drive his car. Alright, I never drive his car because it's a stick shift and every man that tried to teach me stick wound up sceaming at me and kicking me out of the car. Anyway, since I'm gearing up to bring home the new bike and will probably want to explore some new places to ride, I once again tackled the mystery of the bike rack. I did some research online and made some phone calls. And now, thanks to Thule and Peter Glenn Ski & Sports in Delray Beach, I have a really nice rack that's just waiting to haul my new bike around town! ;-D
