    yeah i saw the advert on tv. Very good idea me thinks, but yeah needs to be able to hold 2-3 bikes really....
  • I saw it too! Its unlikely that a fit girl is gonna come allong and put her bike on your "pull-out" bike rack and jump in your car....yeh...

    Its a prettygood idea, more manufactureres should do it, saves the hassle of having to strap on the carrier or hook it on the towbar or whatever...! 8)

    It costs more as a roof bar/tow bar set up (£500), you can only carry two bikes, you loose the spare tyre & get a can of slime type stuff incase you get a flat tyre.

    IMO an expensive gimmick, nothing wrong with roof bars or a tow bar mounted carrier.

  • I got a towbar one. Thule something something. It carries 3 bikes, there are no straps, apaprt from the ones that hold the bike to the bike rack!
