I have a Thule roof rack but my wife cant get the bikes up there in a hurry. This is fine for long trips as i do it for her. What i want is a rear mounted bike rack which she can put the kids bikes on or her own bike on for when I am not around.
Just looking for a easy to install no frills rear bike rack for short trips.
The conditions should be that it should be reasonably priced.
NOT tow bar mounted as i dont have a tow bar. (this is not an option)
NOT have to add the light plate and rewire etc.
Also i need the boot to be able to be opened. (not with the bike on the rack) but with the rack empty.
I have heard that bike rear racks dont allow you to open the boot unless its the towbar ones that tilt. BUT i assume these dont open due to the bikes being mounted But surely all rear racks would open when the bikes are off?
Advice please guys.
