The fashion for Camping came to Poland from abroad and quickly became one of the most popular leisure activities for many people. However, transporting bicycles can be quite a challenge if you have already used the mounting space on the towbar to connect a caravan or other type of trailer. If this is the case, it is worth sourcing a drawbar bike carrier, which offers a practical and space-saving solution that offers many benefits.
Why a drawbar bike carrier?
A drawbar bike carrier enables the space between the towing vehicle and trailer to be used efficiently. Unlike rear-mounted racks, it does not obstruct the vehicle’s rear lights or restrict rear visibility. This type of rack is very popular with campervan owners as it makes it easy to access the bikes and guarantees safe transport.
Advantages of a drawbar-mounted bike carrier:
- Increased loading capacity: the space between the towing vehicle and the trailer is used efficiently, which is particularly beneficial on long journeys.
- Secure attachment: The bicycle is securely and stably attached to the drawbar, guaranteeing a smooth ride.
- Easy access: The bicycle is easily accessible, allowing quick loading and unloading.

Mounting and safety
Mounting a bicycle carrier on a drawbar is usually straightforward and requires no special tools. The racks are securely fastened to the drawbar of the trailer with clamps or fixing straps. It is important that the rack is securely attached and that the bikes are securely fastened to prevent them from moving or falling during the journey.
Tips for safe installation:
- Make sure the trailer drawbar is securely mounted to support the weight of the bikes and the carrier.
- Always use the fixing methods recommended by the manufacturer and regularly check the fixing points.
- It is a good idea to check the fixings regularly to tighten them, if necessary, especially on longer journeys.
Conclusion:
A drawbar bike carrier is an excellent option for anyone wishing to transport their bikes safely and without problems when travelling. It offers adequate use of unused space and is a practical way of transporting bikes without obstructing access to other parts of the trailer or vehicle. If you choose the right bicycle carrier and fit it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, you will be able to set off on your next journey with confidence.
