Can anyone recommend a rear carrier for 3 bikes for my berlingo. I've looked but they all seem to
attach to the flimsey bumper bit at the bottom and I'm frightened that with my super human strength
I'd tighten the straps too much and end up with a poorly car. Thanks.

Can I suggest you take a look at the tow-bar bike carriers. This does of course mean fitting a
towbar but there are carriers available that fold back out of the way of the boot. I think the
Berlingo has a large top-hinged tailgate which would get in the way of conventional bike carriers.
Sorry can't remember the name but google should find them--

on the bumper. Have you got / thought about installing a tow bar? You could then use a pendle rack.
I presume that the height of the berlingo means that a roof carrier isn't an option...Al

turn so that bikes can be got on and off more easily.Colin

the main problem with a roof carrier is more to do with the height of Mrs Berlingo than the height
of the berlingo itself! However maybe its one of the only options. I've just returned from a ferry
trip (Holyhead/dublin) and noticed only one berlingo at either port with bikes attached to a tow bar
carrier thing. Thanks for any advice though.[email hidden] (Al) wrote in message
