The proscribed way to carry bikes on a RX300 Mk 2 is to have a roof mounted bike carrier. There is no way that my wife, at about 5ft 5ins and under 10 stone can lift two bikes onto the roof. Our current solution is a Pendle bike rack which fits on the detachable tow bar. Very easy to fit, no problems putting the bikes on and very safe whilst motoring. Check out http://www.pendle-bike.co.uk/ and look for the wheel support type.
Now as far as I can understand the Brinkmatic detachable tow bar for the RX300 requires the spare wheel to be carried permanently in the back of the car - how silly is that. I am not sure that Witter even do one, its not listed on their web site but a previous posting on this subject also suggested that the spare wheel had to go in the back.
Has anyone out there found a safe, secure and easy way of carrying up to 3 bikes on a MK2 RX300
The car is coming on the 27th Sept so I would like to find a solution, soonest
