Thane Bike Nook
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
Thane's Bike Nook is a free-standing storage rack that holds one bike. It’s available in two versions: the standard one is for kids’, road, and hybrid bikes; the Turbo is rated for any bike, including e-bikes. Complaints are frequent and aplenty. Both versions are deemed unstable and unsuitable for households with kids and pets. Testers say the rack easily tips over if bumped. Compatibility is very limited, information about compatibility is sparse, and Thane is hard to contact, resulting in many returned products. Though it does work for some bikes, the Bike Nook disappoints many buyers and is considered overpriced.Expert Reviews
