carrying 2 or 3 bikes!

[mak1965]

What should I get to carry 2 or 3 bikes to various locations,, I see a bike rack in Walmart but it will not fit because of the spare??? The Libby did not come with the cross bars on top.. Just rails from front to back?? Any ideas mkunie@verizon.net

Thanks!(blarg)

Spare me

I have a Thule 963 (spare me) on my spare. I've transported two bikes, both hybrids, probably around 15 pounds each on highways and residential roads, no problems. Now, this model will ONLY hold two bikes, so if you want a third on there, you'll probably have to get a hitch-mounted rack.

thule makes something for the spare tire.

or you can build a rack using your bars, which I did at one time. yakima bars, cage, bike sleds, etc. I have a pic of it somewhere ontop of the liberty if you want to see what it looks like.

I like that idea. I wonder how big of a tire I can fit it onto?

Yeah if you look at the Hollywood version,, It goes over & snugs onto the top of the spare.. I did have to lengthen (by Loosening) the screws a lot. And The 3 straps seems strong What I did was also wrap the 2 rear straps around the tire through the rims as to add more strength. And after the bikes were on added 4 bungees.. Overkill>>/?? Anyway seems great was able to drive the bikes to the local park and then off to Ritas for a much needed Ice!
