The Thule roof bike rack, CRITERIUM, carries a single bicycle on your existing roof rack. The CRITERIUM features a contoured wheel tray with a easy to use clamping arm that secures your bike for further securement. With a twist of the dial, the automated clamp secures bike frames up to 3 3/8" in diameter & releases it with a press of the release switch. The Thule bike rack secures each wheel to the rack with plastic wheel ties to prevent bouncing or rolling. The Thule 598 bike rack fits on to many roof racks with 2.5" wide cross bars on either the passenger's or driver's side. If you are questioning what rack you should use for transporting only a couple bicycles on the roof of your vehicle, the quick and easy to use Thule CRITERIUM bike rack is your answer.
