Choose a lightweight hydration backpack that offers maximum comfort and ease of use during cycling. The Thule Vital collection<\/a> of lightweight hydration backpacks features smart solutions such as a hands-free ReTrakt magnetic hose return system and convenient jersey-style pockets for quick access to nutrition, clothing or tools without having to remove the pack.<\/p>\n

Bike Carriers and Racks<\/h2>\n

With a car bike rack, you can take your bike anywhere you want \u2013 quickly, easily and safely. The new and improved Thule Euroway G2 3 Bike Carrier<\/a> is compact and lightweight and ideal for everyday use (for 3 bikes). It\u2019s easy to mount and adjust, thanks to the detachable bike arms and folds flat easily for simple storage. It also tilts to provide boot access when bikes are mounted. There are pump buckles with long wheel straps for easy fastening of wheels and you can lock the carrier (and the bikes into position) on the toolbar, as locks are included too.
