How Jonathan Carries Two Bikes on His Mercedes Sprinter
Why Simplicity Wins One thing that stands out throughout Jonathan's review is the simplicity of the entire system. No complicated moving parts. No heavy carrier permanently attached to the van. No extra length extending far beyond the rear doors. Just a straightforward solution that fits naturally into the campervan lifestyle.
Why Jonathan Switched from a Towbar Bike Rack to Bike-Hook
A Simpler Approach Bike-Hook takes a very different approach to transporting bicycles. Instead of supporting the bike by its wheels, the bicycle is securely mounted by the front fork while hanging from the rear doors of the campervan. The result is a remarkably compact system that removes in seconds and stores easily when it's not needed. For many campervan owners, that simplicity is exactly what makes the system so appealing.
