Hi all,
As there isn't many cycle friendly places on my doorstep I plan to be driving to the woods or beech cycle routes before heading off on the bike. I've got an estate car with roof rails (not bars... yet) and no tow bar, on the other hand roof bars and a tow bar are in the pipeline to be added anyway as I plan on adding a 14-16' trailer sailor to the drive at some point.
Bare in mind I wouldn't be towing while carrying bikes, also the cost of a tow bar/roof bars won't affect my decision as they're in the pipeline to be added anyway.
What type of carrier do others prefer for ease of use?
Can roof mounted carriers be left on when not in use if they fold down? Do boot mounted carriers feel secure?
