Good Cars for Bikes

[ClockworkOrange]

I love my Mini!!! And, you have the option of a bike rack that fits conveniently on the rear bumper. Costs the same whether you order custom (when you order the car) or retrofitted. Whenever other Mini owners around Atl. see my bike rack, they drool! I'll post pictures in a bit.

Hmmm, I have a rag top and as much as love having the roof down, I cannot get a bike rack for it, unless I am willing to shell out something in the region of £650 ($980)!!! I have had my car 5 years and had it been an option then, I would have probably paid it.

As usual and not available in the UK, there is a Swagman XTC-2 for around $179 but I suspect that needs a tow bar?

At the moment I am thinking of buying a second hand Strida folding bike...........they look fun.

Look forward to you posting some pics skinimini.

If I did this right, above is a link to a picture of my mini with the bike rack. When I ordered my car, the rack was about $500 (Aug 2008). Maybe it's more expensive now?

I have a Honda Pilot and DH and I are able to load both of our bikes inside using a homemade rack (a 1x8) and 2 fork mounts screwed into board. It works great and still have room for luggage, etc. Plus, bikes are inside not out in the elements or at risk (as much risk anyway) for thievery.
