As I've just moved to a saloon from an estate I need to get a towbar mounted bike carrier, but I'll also need a towbar rack and bag for holidays. Has anyone here used one for bike carrying? What are they like for longer bikes?
Thanks!
What?
Are you asking if you can put a bike in a towbar basket?
This type of thing with the bike carrier adapters they do for it.

I chuck one of the waterproof cargo bags (designed for those trays) onto a 4 bike rack (altera strada dl) along with my big bike for holidays. Works well, plenty of support without the need fir a tray-specific system
5lab that was another thought but I wasn’t sure how flat the top of the carrier is. What bag do you use?
Thanks!
I got an amazonbasics one that I dont think is sold any more, but looks similar in build to the thule 948 bag. The bottom isn't flat, but on my rack the 4 rails are fairly flat and spaced maybe 25cm apart, the bag has enough structure (particularly if you pack larger items at the bottom, we put our tent in there) not to sag between them at all
Ah yes, I see that has been discontinued due to some exhausts melting, not an issue on my EV though. Do you think it would fit on the 3 bike version of the carrier?
