Recommendation of Bike Racks for Transporting a Recumbent Bike
Question:
I need a bike rack to transport a recumbent bike?
asked by: David N
Expert Reply:
We do have a couple models that may work for your recumbent bike. These models will certainly carry one recumbent bike, as long as the wheel base is within the limits of the rack, but may not carry two bikes due to the seat width on recumbent models.
The Swagman XTC2, item # S64670, has a maximum wheel base of 66 inches and accommodates wheel sizes up to 2-1/2 inches wide. Another possibility would be the Swagman Extended, part # S64650-EXT which can handle a wheel base up to 68 inches long.
