What are bike rack plates?
A bike rack plate is a smaller copy of your car, caravan or trailer number plate that securely attaches to your bike rack.
When to use them
If a bike rack is attached to the back of your vehicle, it can sometimes obscure your number plate. You can either move your regular number plate from your vehicle to the bike rack or you can buy a bike rack plate. This ensures your number plate is clearly visible.
