This is a really cool idea.  This rack will mount to your factory roof rack.  You could also mount it to a rear receiver hitch platform with a little bit of originality turning it from hitch rack to a roof rack.  This could easily adapt to work on a couple of different vehicles. Rick Kern

Advantages to Roof Racks

  1. The bikes are well separated so they do not rub on each other or the car.
  2. You can pull a trailer and the bikes will not be in the way.
  3. The roof racks protect the finish on your car really well.
  4. Often there are a lot of other accessories to carry canoes, skis, snowboards etc. to fit the roof rack.
  5. Usually you can get a locking system for your rack and your bikes.

Disadvantages to Roof Racks

  1. People have been known to forget the bikes are on the roof and run into the garage. This is really hard on the car, bike and sometimes the garage.
  2. Usually Roof Racks are quite expensive. Often it will cost over $400 for a two bike roof rack.
  3. Putting the bike on the roof can be a chore sometimes.
  4. The extra wind drag from the bikes above the car will significantly affect your gas mileage.
  5. Installing a roof rack can be a chore.

Always check the Bike Rack Manufacturers fit chart to make sure the rack you want will fit your car.
