Whether its the thrill of racing downhill, the physical challenge of a long-distance race, or the peaceful relaxation of sightseeing at your own pace that you long for, cycling is perhaps the ultimate way of experiencing the outdoors. Its a special kind of freedom, be it on asphalt, gravel, dirt roads, paths or on the road that isnt there until you make it. And all the way to your road of choice, our bike carriers will keep your two-wheeled companions in a tight grip, perfectly secured to your car. No matter if you want to transport your bikes on your car roof, on your car rear, attached to your towbar, or even inside your car, we have a solution that fits both your car and your needs. With a Thule bike carrier, all mounting, adjusting and securing is done easily and quickly. We also make them as safe and sturdy as we can and theres a simple logic behind that: The adventures shouldnt start until you get on your bike.
