General Bike Racks
I've only ever carried bikes on the roof of the Panda ... and amusing they must have looked too. Why?
Well most of the time I used to carry two tandem cycles attached vertically on the roof, using the Fiat roof bars and tandem carriers. On ocassions I also carried a solo bicycle mounted between the tandems.
It is a five seater (or at least has seat belts for 5), so why not 5 bicycle seats too? Cost: about 8 miles per gallon less and 10 miles per hour reduction in 'comfortable' cruising speed! Inside the Panda there were four of us with all our camping gear too.

I bought a bike carrier for two bicycles that fits onto a swan neck tow ball in Germany the Dutch have a similar idea and it comes complete the tail lights etc.

coulndt agree more!!
i went to a biketrials competition yesterday.
mmmmm bikes
lots of cars got stuck in the quarry mud parking area
not me panda 4x4 .
mmmmmm pandas
Have to admit i parked up in the entrance to a field last week when i went cycling, this is in my 2wd but i went in nose first slowly and the wheels slowly started spinning. Reversed out slowly and realised that the wheels had sunk into the mud a good 6 inches, was very impressed that it just pulled out with no complaining and no spinning. Could be my elite driving skills though
No doubt i could have actually got properly into the field entrance if i had knobly tyres rather than road tyres

cheers, it's enough to sate my Panda addition for a while...
but here's the boys together... although the Selecta has a sticker with a largish refueling aircraft called 'Lusty Lindsy' on the drivers anti-glare flap thingy.

dark metallic grey = anthracite or however its spelt? Looks great on sportier cars, not sure it'll suit the panda though.
