Bike carriers
Nov 24^th, 2012, 2:50pm

A friend of ours has one of those electrified bikes. She drives a sedan. Apparently, her bike has a longer then usual wheelbase, so she asked us what sort of car carrier to get. We were no help at all, since we just throw them into the minivan, but we told her we'd ask around and get the advice of our experienced friends. ( Smiley

) So, how about it? What are the best carriers for the long wheelbase bikes?

However, it really only works for "single tube" - a "trussed" design like the V-rex wouldn't work. What does she ride?

Also carry/carried dual 650c high racer as well as 20/26 lowracer. It is a great rack. http://rbentonline.org/YaBB.pl?num=1323352768/165
