Front mount bike carrier

Lloyd Hanning · Feb 12, 2006

Well, I've been looking for a bike carrier for my '04 Jeep Wrangler. I
thought I could find a carrier that would quickly mount to the front of the
jeep, and could be removed when not in use. I wanted to do this as I don't
have a trailer hitch and the expense of installing a trailer hitch then
getting a carrier, well, it would be cheaper to just get a front carrier.
I've been searching, and I can't find one! Can somebody tell me if they do
make a front carrier and where I could get one?

TIA

Lloyd

There isn't one. In most US states, racking a bike on the front of a
vehicle of that size would violate regulations concerning the
obstruction of the headlights and/or the driver's line of sight. It
also causes you to get bugs in your chain, ders, seat, etc.

Can you imagine what it would do to a pedestrian?

Or a cyclist?

The Saris Bones 3 bike rack can be configured to mount on the back of
almost any vehicle. I would think it could also work just as well on
the front of the vehicle. Only possible concern would be the bottom
two straps that attach to the bottom lip of the trunk lid. If your
front bumper has an open back, the metal hooks could grab it. Modern
cars with molded plastic front bumpers may not have an easy way to
attach the bottom straps.
