  1. Can anybody help, please? I'm considering buying a trailercycle for my daughter, but would need to
    be able to carry it on my car's roof. Is there any way of carrying it safely? I live in the UK, so
    any advice on products available here would be really appreciated.

    Many thanks! David Hughes

  2. See

    www.roofbox.co.uk

    & put a post on uk.rec.cycling which is a UK based newsgroup and I'm sure the people over there will
    assist if they can.

    Cheers, helen s

  3. I used a Yakima Lockjaw in conjunction with a couple of straps for a 2500 mile trip with no
    problems. I secured the wheel with the wheelstrap, put the lockjaw on the downtube, and ran nylon
    straps from the handlebars to the cross bars on the roof rack.
