Bicycle riders question.

TreeSemdyZee · 03-19-2013, 10:12 PM

To all of you guys who ride bicycles. Has anyone used the Sea Sucker mounting system? I'm really starting to get into biking and am wanting a good mounting setup for my Z.
From all of the reviews and videos that I've seen, these work pretty well. Just wondering if anyone here has personal experience with them.

And for those who think you shouldn't mount a bike to your Z, feel free to not comment. I only have one car.

Actually I've seen people fit their mountain bike in their trunks. I just couldn't find the thread now.

But this might help you...

How to carry a bicycle? bike rack question

TreeSemdyZee · 03-19-2013, 10:43 PM

I'm really looking to mount externally. Mostly because I want to take it on vacation with me this year. My car was packed last year and I was just pondering today where I'd put the wheels.

That one might be an option though. Easy to get to and remove if needed.
I'll check it out.

edit: Thanks for linking to that thread. I did a search and got all kinds of crap. Nothing bike related. The thread looks like it might really help me.

I road bike, with the wheels off I can fit the bike in the 370z trunk. I'd rather not have too though and I have been looking for a rack for the car. I wish I could find a boofsquire one. One of my buddies had a seasucker on his car and at 75mph on the interstate the rack flew off. Messed up his car and totalled his bike.

I've only read good reviews of the rack, but hearing this made me decide not to get one.

There is a rack system specifically for Zs I believe. Let me see if I can find it...

Edit: Here you go. I think they is the best looking bike rack for the Z, there are others that mount to the back but they dont' seem as elegant. But maybe that doesn't matter to you.

^ They havn't had any in stock in 2 years. They no longer produce them.

Oh, damn that's too bad.

Road or mountain bike? Cause I've done this with my road bike a few times.

Maybe a rack to hold your other stuff may be easier to find.

^ I stuff my roadbike in the trunk but it's kind of a pain and I'm afraid it's going to scratch it all up haha.
