Looking for a bike rack that can attach to your spare tire? Well you do have a few options. They may be limited but you do have a few choices.
You will be limited on the number of bicycles that you can carry. The good part is they can be little bit cheaper than some of the other racks. The bad is that the bikes are a little tight on these types of racks. The other bad part is gaining access to your rear cargo area. When you have the rack installed and the bikes attached, you better hope you have a swinging left to right door on the back of your vehicle becuase this would probably be to heavy and dangerous for anybody to lift up.
Here are some good spare tire bike rack carriers that we have seen. Allen Deluxe 3-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack Model #303DB. Thule 963 Spare Me 2-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack Model # 963.
If you do have a spare tire on the back of your vehicle and your wondering what options might you have, here are a few. If you have a trailer hitch attached to your car you can use a Hitch Extension that extends you receiver up to 11″ in length. This will allow you to install a tradition hitch mounted bike rack. The extensions helps clear the rack past the spare tire and will now allow you to easily access the rear cargo area of your vehicle.
Another option would be a roof mounted rack on your vehicle. This would allow full access to the rear of your vehicle.
