As spring's here (kind of) I was thinking of getting a cycle rack.

These seem pretty reasonably priced.

Are they any good?

I have a Halford's branded bike rack that i'm certain is a Paddy Hopkirk.
It's earned its keep over the past 12 years and six different models of car.
It's always a faff strapping it onto the back of the car but it does a sound
job providing that you remember to check the straps for tightness after
driving the first few miles with bikes on it. My neighbour found out to his
cost that skipping the tension checking does not pay.

Thanks, Ed.

Thanks very much. Halfords are doing a high rack, no lighting board
needed for 3 bikes
at £60. I might go for that.

Cheers, Ed.
