Cruzbike Quest on a car mounted bike rack

People often have questions about how to mount recumbents and Cruzbikes on a car-mounted rack.  (Some might call this a bike carrier.)

A customer recently bought the second to last new Cruzbike Quest 451 in existence.  He sent me these photos to show how he mounted his Quest in order to head out for his first rail trail ride.

Have fun and stay healthy,

Cars that cyclists like. And two that don't look so good.

It has pained me, this past summer, to find myself needing a car to transport bikes hither and yon for shows and exhibits.

As the time drew near, I was frantically searching through the Zip Car options for cars that looked like they'd hold a few bikes.  I ended up Zip-car-renting a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck.  Plenty of room for a trike and two bikes, plus all the gear for an exhibit.  And kind of a sweet ride as well, I will admit.

I did a little research on-line and put together this list of cars that cyclists seem to like.  I'd be happy to update it with your favorite, should you care to send it to me.

Toyota Tacoma

Volkswagon Golf GTI

Subaru Forester

Volkswagon Caddy

Mercedes-Benz Vito

Renault Megane

Skoda turbo diesel DSG wagon

Honda Jazz

Ford Territory Ghia

SUV of unknown brand near Manhattan Bridge, Chinatown.
