Looking for a new bike rack for the cycling season ahead? Summer is almost here, and bike rides can become part of your weekend routine again. So which bike rack will you choose? When you decide, it makes sense to go for one that meets your needs.

There are several types of bike racks, but the most common seem to be the ones that attach to the car's roof bars. Before you set your sights on one of these, make sure your car has roof bars.

What are roof bar bike racks? They are car accessories that attach directly to the roof bars and carry your bike, or bikes, safely.

A popular roof bar bike rack that we recommend is the Menabo Huggy Lock. It is a rack anyone can use, it doesn't take long to fit, and it gets your bike to your destination in complete safety.

How do you fit the Menabo Huggy Lock on your roof bars?

The Huggy Lock attaches to the roof bars with 60 mm U-bolts. Before you choose this rack, make sure the roof bars on your car can take a rack with this type of fitting. We don't recommend makeshift solutions if your bars don't match the rack: it could come loose while you are driving.

Follow the fitting instructions in the box step by step to fit the rack on your roof bars. Once the rack is fitted, you can place your bike on it.

Secure the bike on the rack with both the frame holder arm, which grips the frame, and the wheel straps that hold the wheels in the rack's wheel trays.

Why choose the Menabo Huggy Lock?

The Huggy Lock is an easy-to-use rack made of steel, and it weighs 3.15 kg. It carries one bike weighing up to 15 kg and comes with a bike lock.

The rack is compatible with a fairly wide range of roof bars: the Menabo Huggy Lock can be fitted on Menabo Tema, Menabo Delta, Menabo Brio, Menabo Sherman, Menabo Raven, Menabo Tiger and K39 K1 bars.

Another very important point is that the Menabo Huggy Lock is TÜV tested and safety approved. It also takes up little space and can easily be stored in a cupboard or in your garage.

The standard Menabo Huggy

Menabo also makes a slightly cheaper version of the Huggy. The only difference from the Lock version is that it has no bike lock. Otherwise, the rack is the same.
