roof mounted FTW

I've got the Thule proride, quality bit of kit, reassuring that your bikes held inplace properly and you're ready to ride in seconds.

If I'm going for a long drive, then In the boot.

I hate the idea of putting a bike on my roof.  I can see it falling of and smashing into the car.  I'd me much happier having the bike strapped to the rear instead.

Wish I'd got a pic the other day, bike upside down on the Skoda, two big yellow straps through the door shut wrapped round the roof.  :laugh:

Got some looks, straps making a right racket, got pulled up, asked him to try and get the bike to move, was solid so he was satisfied, laughed and let me on my way.

At destination, boot the big dent out the roof. :laugh:

Where all my moneys went.
