How do you attach a BSI bike rack?

1. Assemble the bike rack. If the bike rack is not already assembled, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to assemble it.

2. Mount the bike rack to the vehicle. There are different types of BSI bike racks, each with its own unique mounting system. Follow the instructions specific to your bike rack model to mount it securely to the vehicle. Common mounting methods include:

* Roof racks: BSI bike racks can be mounted on roof racks. Make sure the rack is compatible with your vehicle's roof rack and follow the installation instructions.

* Hitch mount: BSI bike racks can be mounted on a hitch receiver. Make sure the rack is compatible with the size and capacity of your vehicle's hitch receiver.

* Spare tire mount: BSI bike racks can be mounted on the spare tire carrier of some vehicles. Make sure the rack is designed specifically for your vehicle and the size of your spare tire.

3. Load your bikes onto the bike rack. Each BSI bike rack has its own system for securing bicycles. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to properly secure your bikes to the rack. Make sure the bikes are stable and securely attached to the rack.

4. Test the bike rack. Before driving with your bikes on the rack, test the rack to make sure it is secure. Apply pressure to the bikes to ensure they are properly secured. Check that all straps, clips, and bolts are properly tightened.

5. Drive safely. When driving with bikes on a bike rack, be extra cautious and aware of the additional length and width of your vehicle. Allow for extra clearance when passing through narrow spaces or making turns. Reduce your speed and be mindful of the added weight and adjust your braking and acceleration accordingly.

It's important to carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions that came with your BSI bike rack for the specific steps and requirements for your particular model and vehicle.
