I was wondering if anyone had a rear bike rack that I could borrow for a week? I'll be taking the bikes and driving down to Cowra next week with my girlfriend Pia. Her car is a honda civic sedan without a roof racks or tow bar so we'd be looking for something that would fit that type of car.

Please PM if you might be able to help.

Thanks

Adrian

If you want to shell out $120 for a square bar roof rack, which you will have for the life of the car, then I can lend you a lockable thure bike rack, the sort where you leave the front wheel on

Thanks Mike and Tim,
I'll look into the roof racks this weekend and get in touch once I see how I go.

Mike, you say "square bar roof rack". Do these need to be Thule brand racks to be compatable?

You can use any brand square bar roof rack. I got mine for $120 at the place on Parramatta rd, Haberfield. Can't remember the brand but I can get back to you if your concerned.

With square bars, you can fit accessories from pretty much anyone, were with aero bars, you options are reduced.
