I have a Grand Caravan with two sliding doors, roof rack, and have four
bikes to travel with.
Our old van we had a hitch mount four bike carrier and this van we put
the smaller kids bikes in the van and two adult bikes on a carrier on
the back. Now we have four adult bikes. We go in and out of the back of
the van too much to put something on the back.
I was thinking of mounting the bikes on the roof using Delta Bike Hitch
locking fork mounts (search Amazon to see what I'm talking about). I
was going to drill holes in the cross members of my current roof rack
and mount the hitch right to the vans roof rack. Two facing forward and
two facing backwards. Every other one forward then backwards so that
the handlebars don't get into the way.
What kind of wind resistance do the bikes produce on the top? What do
the bras do for the bike and are they necessary? Will the bikes facing
backwards cause issues? Is four bikes way too much?
Let me know your ideas and thoughts?
Thanks.
