Bike carrier,

Kids want me to take them to the forest with their bikes when I take the dog.

So was thinking of getting this

What do you chaps think?

i do go mountain biking a bit i can get 2 bikes in the back with the seats down i just take the wheels off
but yes you want something like that it will be easier to remove than a roof carrier would be

Funnily enough I am looking at bike carriers at mo too but roof mounted as do not have a tow bar.

No experience of the one you show but had a paddy hopkirk quick ball thing once and was so easy to use!

Got it for a tenner off eBay.

Yep I could fit them in but not with the 3 kids wife and Dog in the car.

Yeah I though about Roof mounted also the one you linked to but was not 100% taken with them, hence the towbar carrier.

So it is I've looked at so many just double checked the link at first I thought it was one that hooked over the back.
