Hi guys,

A bit of collective wisdom on bike racks if you please.

Having sold the van, we are now after a bike rack (for 3 bikes minimum) for a 2001 Honda Civic (5 door hatchback, Y reg).

The two options we're considering are

[url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/sea-sucker/bomber-3-bike-fork-mount-rack-with-3-rear-wheel-straps-ec070180#features ]Sea Sucker Bomber[/url]

The Sea Sucker is expensive, but (if it works) is less likely to damage car hatch seals and will be easy to store. However it seems counter intuitive to entrust our precious bikes to suction pads. All the bikes for this particular expedition are have QR wheels (no bolt through).

Does anyone have any experience with either of these?

Slightly OT, but I have a 53 plate civic with a roof rack - from Honda. Was originally £150.

I'm getting rid of the car, but you can have the roof rack for £15+postage if you like. Then you could put two on the roof and one in the boot?

That is definitely interesting. Could you send me photos/description? Email in profile.

If anyone else has any thoughts on the other two options as well that'd be much appreciated.
