We are a family of seven (five kids) with seven bikes to transport. I have searched everywhere trying to ascertain whether I could fit a Tailgate bike rack (to fit the larger 4 bikes) and a second bike carrier on the T6 towbar (to carry the three smallest bikes) to carry all seven bikes at once? (Obviously I am expecting to lose access to the boot while the bikes are mounted). Does anyone have any idea if this could work? I found one picture on the forum but with hardly any info. If it is possible, I’m especially interested to know the maximum height of the bottom bikes as well as if anyone has suggestions on the lowest lying towbar rack that I could try?
We moved recently from Cape Town where I had four of the bikes on Thule Pro-rides on the roof, and the other three on a Thule Hold-Fast carrier. But TBH, it was so much admin getting the bikes on and off the top of the van that it just killed the fun of going anywhere with bikes so we are trying to find an alternate solution.
I don’t think weight would be an issue (?!) because, except for my bike (Trek XL but quite light), everyone else rides adult medium (x2), adult small (x2) and two kids bikes - none of which are particularly heavy.
Any help much appreciated!
