If you thought bike racks were cumbersome, then you’re not alone apparently. TrunkMonkey is the world’s first inflatable, portable bike carrier designed to be mounted on the seat post of your bike frame or stowed away in the trunk of your vehicle. With its lightweight, minimal design, TrunkMonkey is always ready at a moments notice providing the convenience and freedom to never leave your bike behind. The unique cradle design does away with the need for metal clamps or ratcheting straps used by other bike carrier designs, which can cause cosmetic and even structural damage to some frames.

The inflatable polyvinyl core is protected by a 1000 mil. Cordura Kevlar shell, which eliminates any friction points and ensures both your bike and vehicle remain dent and scratch-free.
