Bike carrier/roof rack
« on: 10 September 2016, 21:43 »
Does anyone use something to carry a bike on their Mk7? There seems to be quite a few products available but I don't know where to start. I know I don't want to be carrying it in the cabin.

If you have roof bars Thule Pro Ride 598
Or if you want to hang it off the back get a Saris Bones2 for one bike or a Saris Bones3 for two.

I have the VW set, roof bars and cycle carriers. Very well made and easy to load, plus lockable to quite secure. Just a shame I had to change the roof bars from the Mark 6 to the Mark 7.
