Recommended 3-Bike Carrier To Hold Beach Cruiser Bikes

Question:

Will this bike rack hold two beach cruisers? I see the weight limit is 3 bikes at 35 pounds each, but beach cruisers are usually a bit heavier than 35 pounds.

Trunk bike racks that hold 2-3 bikes are limited to 30-35lbs per bike, so for a bike rack that has a higher weight capacity you will need to go with a hitch-mounted carrier. For this, I recommend looking into the SportRack Pathway Deluxe 3 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR2703. This is an affordable hanging bike rack that has a weight capacity of 44lbs per bike.

Both of the bike racks mentioned above will likely require you to use an adapter bar such as # SA3040. This adapter bar is a great way to tightly secure oddly-shaped bikes to frame-mount bike carriers. I attached demonstration videos for you.
