Howling Bike Rack


We scheduled our annual camping trip to Yogi Bear Campground in Ashland, NH.  Since Starry loves riding her bike I invested in a bike rack for my little car.  A roof rack seemed like the best option, so I would still have access to the stuff in the trunk.  After installing the rack on the car I took it out on the highway to pick up my mom and it howled.  I called the shop that sold me the rack and they said that was a common problem but for another $64 they could solve it with a little piece of Plexiglas I could attach to the front of the rack.  What could I do, but shell out the money since we were leaving shortly for an hour ride up the highway.  Of course, it then rained out almost the entire time so the bikes got ridden for about 10 minutes.  Better luck next time.

  1. What a bummer! All of that for nothing! At least you wont have to worry about the noise issue when you get out again! :) Hugs to Starry!
