REI, edited by the author The REI Labor Day sale, running now through September 7, is a great opportunity to save serious money on big-ticket car and camping accessories. High-quality bike racks are not cheap, so 20% off can mean more than a couple hundred bucks. Check out the best buys right here. I tested Yakima’s StepUp Swing trailer-hitch bike rack this summer and absolutely loved it. Solid build quality, serious convenience—it’s so nice to be able to move bikes out of the way of my side-opening rear door without removing them. Anyway, that’s normally about $1,000 is now down to $800. There are plenty of options at lower prices, too, if you can skip the swing function. And here are some more automotive adventure-adjacent items you might want to score a deal on.
