bike rack attachment for step-thru

[4johnny]

Hello,

is anybody transporting a step-thru on their rear bike rack with an attachment like this?

Also, is it OK to transport RAD bikes in the rain?  I know it will happen on camping trips.

Thanks

What kind of bike rack are you planning on using?

I'd say yes you can transport in the rain but be sure to buy a bike cover. I like the cover from Pro Bike Tool and it is the one on my recommended accessories page: https://amzn.to/2WKwZf3

I have a thule rear hitch mount for 4 bikes.  However, we bought the mini step-thru which does not have a bar to attach to the rack.

So we need an attachment bar for transport

Thanks

I am looking at the Thule 982Xt Frame Adapter.   I don't like how it attaches to the seat post for support.  The seat post could easily release under the weight of the bike and end up on the road.

I would NOT transport anything as heavy as these Rad bikes on a lightweight rack like that. If you cannot afford a hitch-mounted rack built for heavier bikes, be VERY CERTAIN of the weight capacity of your rack!
