Bike Carrier recommendations

[Bert]

Another question.

I need to carry 4 bikes.
I have a towbar fitte so was thinking of a towbar/towball mounted carrier - either one where the bikes "hang" or one where they "ride".

Any good/bad experiences of trying to carry 4 bikes?

Thanks

I'd get one of these if I was going to take 4 bikes, I've never had one, but they get good write ups.

Don't forget if you've got 4 bikes its a lot of money hanging there, so pays to have a solid rack

We use one of these

The plate remains permenantly on the towbar, so is really easy to put on/remove, plus there's a lock chord attached for security. We've got a plate on the bongo and an extra one on our Zafira so we can use the rack on both vehicles. We can carry 4 bikes on it no bother.

Cheers

I was in the same position, going to center parcs monday with four bikes and only a 3 bike carrier, found a site with a firm called..skidrive...www.skidrive.co.uk.. and managed to order a THule 9708 4 bike rack from them for £71.00 delivered, cheapest I could find for same elsewhere was £116.00, not only that I ordered it at 2.15pm Thursday and it was on my doorstep 10.00am the following morning, superb service.It is a mega piece of kit too.
