What is the reason for taking the front wheels off. I've seen it done when someones parks the bicycle somewhere but usually not while transporting it in on the roof of a car..
no I was not the driver..taken out of passenger window and almost missed it too. my camera was in my purse when I saw this car next to us. Happy Independence Day to all my American friends and whoever else celebrates it on today's date.
Nice shot Bruni....I've wondered the same thing. We just haul our bikes on a bike rack on the back of my husband's truck, in one piece! Glad you asked, now I know why! :)
The front forks attach to the rack (more secure than bracing the front wheel). Also, it prevents bikes being squished in a rear-ender or parking too close to an object, while also making it more obvious if someone is trying to steal them. It's actually pretty easy to use these racks (I have one on my van, and the roof on that is over 6'6" high).

Nice bikes too. ;)
