Hey all - trying to plan ahead (for once) and am in the process of looking for a bike rack for the rover.
I have the full frontrunner rack and have some room to possibly use the accessory they have and throw a couple on top but I use the rack for surfboards and things like that and I can assume that my children would want to bring the bikes to the beach because of the biking on the boardwalk.....
Facts about my set up:
1. I have three children so the third row is in constant use.
2. The roof rack is possible but probably a pain to load unload all the time.
3. I live in Brooklyn and my children are to young to bike to the park so we tend to drive out to the beach to get some safer biking in.
4. Looking to eventually hold/transport 5 bikes in total. 4 BMX ranging from 16" to 29" wheels and one bike that is more of a cruiser bike.
5. I have a hitch so am open to any of those racks. Maybe a swing away one so I can still get to the tailgate (as we use it to change for surfing, chill, etc).
6. I park on the street (currently) so nothing can be left in or on top or behind the LR4.
Here are some pics of my set up. The second pic gives you an idea of what room I have available on the top (the empty space is where our surfboards go).
What racks do y'all use and do you like them?
Any info, suggestions are helpful.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions and fyi I am slow to reply but I will get back to you.....
Thanks,
AG
