a BICYCLE rack, you filthy beggars!!! :ROFLMAO:

can anyone recommend a nice easy to use, secure bicycle rack for the back of my bus? It would be a bonus if it could be transferred to the Passat estate too but not a deal breaker. Must be able to accomodate two adult bikes and two toddler bikes with stabilisers.

I mean secure as in the bikes aren't going to fall off. The bikes aren't valuable so security against theft isn't a major concern but I'd rather they didn't fall off on the motorway and cause a pileup!!

I have this one from halfords:
http://www.halfords.ie/motoring-tra...rear-high-mount-3-cycle-carrier-clamp-fitting

I get two adult bikes and two toddler bikes (one on each arm) on it just about and fits my van and car. The van fitting needs some tweaking to fit nicely but its fine. 4 bikes is quite scary on it though, the first time I did I had quite heavy adult bikes but I replaced one of the bikes to a lightweight road bike and that is much better.

EDIT: The rubber feet scratched the boot of my car due to some grit on them so you have to make sure they are wiped and free of dirt or they will scratch the van
