Thule 9502 bike carrier
« on: 02 September 2010, 13:57:44 »
I've been looking for a bike carrier for a while and was going to get one of those that is a pole with two arms that hook onto the back of your car but while searching I came across this



What a brilliant bit of kit, really easy to build and very solid. This one's suitable for two bikes but you can get them for upto four bikes and all it cost my was £75 new, a bargain too ;)

looks good, we have one of the ones you originally mentioned - bolt to tow bar type, virtually unused.  Not got a bike any more  ;D ;D
