Most years we go on holiday towards the end of August and beginning of September, and this trip can be 1,600km’s round trip, so this year I decided to take our bikes with us.
I shopped around and in the end, settled on a Thule VeloCompact 927 which supports up to 3 bikes.
Not cheap. This was €493.95 inc taxes.
Also, my car did not have a tow bar so had to fork out another €600 for that. Ouch! Read more about the tow bar story here.
SUPER STABLE
I was really surprised by the stability of this rack. I have a huge adult electric mountain bike which is very heavy + an adult mountain bike + my sone smaller child mountain.
Even at 150km over bumps, this was rock solid.
Every time we went over a bump I would look back to make sure that the rack was still attached, but it was stilll there and solid as a rock.
