Bike Carriers

Cycling from your motorhome is a fantastic way to explore the area you’re staying in, and an opportunity for both adults and kids to make the most of the holiday. By nature, bikes are large, which is why so many motorhome owners choose to install bike carriers, so their extra transport can come with them without getting in the way. It’s something we can help with at AMC, too! 

Bike racks and carriers for your motorhome

Working with your exact requirements, we’re able to fit the necessary equipment to safely and legally transport your bikes. It’s important that the racks we fit are suited to your make and model, and we’re happy to do this research for you.

From family-friendly bike carriers to smaller racks for two-berth motorhomes, we can help fit the most convenient and appropriate bike-carrying solutions to your pride and joy. 

Where we attach your bike carrier 

Whilst the easiest solution to bike storage in transit for a car is on the roof, for a motorhome this just isn’t practical; your vehicle is already on the tall side! We generally recommend that bike racks are installed to the rear of your vehicle, where there are few obstructions, and your bikes won’t stick out. 

Tips for touring with your bike 

• Ensure your bikes and the rack they’re attached to don’t obscure your brake lights, your registration plate, or your view of the road 
• Ensure your bikes don’t tip the weight of your vehicle over its legal limit
• Always check the rules of the road for bikes outside of the UK 
• Make sure you take secure bike locks to deter thieves 
• Keep tools and parts for bike maintenance onboard, for those unexpected punctures
• Always make sure your bikes are securely attached to their rack, and stop regularly to check that this is still the case when you’re on your travels
