Car cycle racks

[Black knight]

Hi,

Buying a car soon and thought a cycle rack was worth considering. Are racks (the ones that go on the back) easier to fit to certain cars than they are to others?

Looking at a Honda Accord Estate similar to this.

A cycle rack is a great idea - the ability to easily take your bike to a different start point opens up whole new areas for riding.

After much humming and ahhhing I bought a roof rack and a Thule cycle carrier and it turned out to be one of my better decisions. You get there and the bike is off and ready in seconds, you get back to the car and it's loaded and you're away home. No worries about damaging paintwork or the straps working loose and - a big plus - it's much easier to find your car in a busy car-park!
