Cycle Carrier For Rear Hatch

I need to buy a cycle carrier that fits to the rear hatch.

I will only be using it to carry my Grandson`s bike about four times a year whilst also towing our caravan, so I don`t want to spend loads of money.

I have seen some on Ebay for about £ 22. Has anyone any experience of these please ?

Bob

If Taz rides his bike he is to knackered to lift it up onto the rack so just slings it to the rear recovery point and drags it to the nearest hospital/oxygen tent At work

I'd buy a bike bag and shove the bike in the van

If you are worried about the possible damage to the van you can hire a rigid bike box to carry the bike in .

Id put the wife in the bag, scrap the van and cycle off into the sunset, very eco friendly too.
