Title: Carrying a bike
Post by: TomConway on August 17, 2017, 19:37:43

Hi
I'm guessing the answer to this is going to be No but here goes anyway. Is there a bike carrier for a 2013 i30 that fits to the rear of the car? I don't have a towbar and don't want to splash out on one (£280 for a basic one that will probably mess with the parking sensors). Roof mounted ones are a problem as I have a dodgy shoulder and lifting a bike that high would be interesting.

Thanks

Yakima seem to be to most popular for Hitch or Hatch type racks  :link: Hatchback & Rear Bike Racks | Yakima (http://www.yakima.com.au/2/Accessories/category/8/Boot-Hatch)

When i take my bike out and need to transport it i remove front wheel and put in boot.
Of course i'm not carrying other stuff!

It will just fit in with front wheel attached but is easier removed.

Nice idea but there are 2 bikes (wife's) and sometime 3 (son when he's not being a lazy student!).

I think you will have to splash out or stop being a WHORE we haul our ride everywhere and ride them.
