Hi folks.
Looking at getting a towbar mounted rack, now that the kids are growing up and a family trip involves lumping 4 bikes around.
My choice is between the design where the bikes hang:
Or where they sit on wheel mounts:
The hanging ones seem to be easier to fit and store (even in your boot while you're riding), and are roughly half the price of the wheel mounted racks, no matter which manufacturer I look at.
The wheel mounted racks look more secure, and look they they'll hold the bikes more securely so that they don't scrape up against each other when you're driving, but they are more expensive!
What do you guys/gals recommend?
