Wind noise is high when carrying roof mounting bikes and it obviously affects drag and fuel consumption.

Watch out for low bridges and tunnels. When I used use Portmouth to Le Havre ferry then you could not use the intersection underpasses when carrying bikes on the roof.

might be me. but why take a bike on holiday when you have a car?

Want to go mountain biking, explore & keep fit. Do things like this:

that is not what i go on holiday for.
  drive to the car park unload the gubbins sit on the beach, eat ice cream, build sand castles then have a walk about,.
 strenuious exercise and holiday dont go together in my book.

Normally I'd agree, in July I did a week in Greece with our own private villa & pool. Hire car, going out for meal the works.

But I also like active holidays, snowboarding in the alps or out on the bike, be it powered or non-powered.
