Towbar mounted bike rack

   Other option is putting the bikes on a roof rack..... Plenty of bike roof mounts available.  Means the mast has to sit back a bit further, but works fine.

	For that I need to buy a new roof rack. Its a new Corsa which means that the roof racks are dealer only at the moment which means big prices! You're talking prices of £100 just for the bars, before you even buy the cycle carriers! Just trying to kill 2 birds with one stone as I am going to need a tow bar at some point soon as I don't fancy car topping the Cherub really.

	I was thinking about getting some of the roof mounted cycle carriers, and then mounting them on bars between the racks of the Cherub. That would be pretty funky. Maybe i'll just make do with chucking the muddy bikes in the back of the car for now. Sounds a lot cheaper.
