We have a carport and a roof rack involves parallel parking adjacent to the carport, removing the bikes and then moving the car. Maybe I am lazy.Originally Posted by Irulan

Also my DH has (twice!) run his car into the carport with bike on. (Did I mention he did this twice?)

Oh I think I have gotten plenty of mileage out of it. Originally Posted by jobob

Maybe I can pull it from reserve in the whole "Let's let Tony build up my steel bike instead of you putting a robo-stem on it" debate.

I don't have a roof rack because of a bad back, and I like being able to leave the bikes on while in the garage. However, I thought of another one today. I CONSTANTLY glance back to check on my bike while it rides on the rack. If I couldn't see it on the roof, I'd panic! I'd have to keep pulling over to see if it's still there! (I know--stupid)

I almost got a sun roof on my car - just so I could see the bikes on the roof

I prefer roof racks to any other sort when I'm carrying two bikes. My next car will have a sunroof just so I can check on the bikes!
