Mounted on the roof, a bike can sit up so high the vehicle can't safely clear many parking structures, and when the bike is laid down in the back of the SUV, chains, gears, rims, and seats can suffer. Save-A-Load offers the SUV-Bike solution. A simple bar that uses compression strength to avoid sliding can hold a bike upright in the back of most SUVs. When not in bike use, the bar can hold other loads as well. Save-A-Load, 327-A West Tremont Ave., Dept. TT12, Charlotte, NC 28203; 704/334-9062. www.saveaload.com
