STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. It may still be winter, but it’s never too early to think about warmer weather and outdoor activities.

For as much as a person may try, there does come the realization that we canât fit everything into our vehicles â even if one did master the ancient arts of Jenga and Tetris as a youngster.

This is especially true if said items that wonât fit are of an odd size, like several bicycles or a taxidermied tiger shark. While we canât help you with the latter, we have rounded up a few of our picks for the former, all of which are designed to cart your two-wheeled Victorian antiquity to its far-flung destination. It is far-flung, right? Otherwise, youâd be riding the thing there.
