is there a cycle rack that anyone can recconmend for the bravo sport that doesnt involve getting a lightboard and doesnt obstruct the rear wiper?

Halfords do a cheap version of the Thule high rider (or something), it mounts on the back of the car and the bikes sit on a wheel tray above the lights and light board...apparenlty it is very secure and stable BUT unless you ride a midget bike, the bikes will be sticking right up above the car so your fuel consumption will be even worse than it would be if they were on the roof.

That Ebay auction for the Fiat roofbars closed today - I'm expecting the bars over the weekend...

Rear racks are fine but you do need to tighten the straps up b@sturd tight to keep it stable...and then you risk breaking your rear window (and also don't activate your rear wiper as it will fail if the rack is installed).

Where is Oop North? I'm Central Scotland, if you are this far North then fancy meeting up for a pedal some time?

I can't find the Halfords one, think it might not be on sale now.

looks like a plan, but just noticed only holds two bikes and may need up to three on there. bugger

thanks anyways, i may look into the roof rack option but it is a bit steep

I think they do a 3-bike version as well but it is a bit more money...also you could try Paddy Hopkirk I think they do high mount roof racks (and I think Pendle do as well)

If you are thinking of roof bars/bike rack, I've got some pics uploaded to my Flickr account to show how it could look - http://www.flickr.com/photos/26900201@N02/sets/72157612328320126/

looks cool.......


i never thought i would say that about a roof rack

A serious amount of wind noise over 50mph though...good grief, the volume on the radio needs to go up to 11 to drown it out!
