Cost-Effective Bike Rack Recommendation for Trek Verve Step-Thru Bike

Published 04/12/2023

Question:

I have 2 regular Trek Verve 2 bikes, one is a step thru. I am looking for a bike rack for these bikes but do not want to spend a lot of money. Can you suggest a carrier. I know the one Verve has no cross bar so has to sit in tire cradles.

The perfect bike rack for your situation is the Hollywood Racks Destination:

- Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR

This is honestly one of the most underrated bike racks that we carry, but it fits most standard bikes (your Trek bikes, step-thru included), is a cost-effective solution, and can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of frame types.

The reason this rack is priced under most platform bike racks is due to how clunky it is. The adjustments work well and are definitely functional, it just uses a lot of bolts and screw-type connections for the adjustments instead of push-buttons like the higher-end racks use.

Attached is a review video of this rack for you to check out. We also have a customer review of this rack being used with a Trek bike that has a step-thru frame, which should put your mind at ease when it comes to compatibility with your bikes.
