Saris Solo Bike Rack
The bike rack manufacture Saris, made popular by its Bones trunk rack, is adding a new addition to its line of racks, the Saris Solo rack. Starting early 2010, Saris will offer cyclist a bike rack suitable for cyclists who are looking to tow their bike around at a minimal expense. The bike rack will retail at a competitive price point of $50. The Saris Solo will be compatible with most vehicles on the road, and it’ll be capable of handling one 35-pound bike. Though the Solo has its limitations, we find it a perfect buy for the fiscally conservative individual rider.
The Solo is exactly what I want–an elegant and easy way to take my bike places. As a Canadian, no one stocks the Solo, and will order it only if they have a total of six requests, so if I really want one before it snows, I have to drive to the US and get one. Nice product…and there are people who want to carry ONE bike.
The Solo was exactly what I needed to fit on my MINI Cooper, and I had the same problem as Linda R.: No stock in Canada. However, as a Canadian, I was able to order through REI.COM for 50$ + 16$ USPS shipping for a total of $66 USD which is very good. Hopefully it will get here before it snows!
