Hi we have a towball bike rack made by Thule.

It does exactly what is says on the tin. We switched to a towball rack after our bike rack collapsed whilst in France in our Adria a few years back.

In my opinion, a nice safe way to carry your bike without having to life it chest height and above to put it on the Van.

Are you looking for a motorcycle rack or a pedal cycle rack?

I have a Thule four bike carrier for the towball and it is easy to put on, its not that heavy at all and once fixed it stays there.:thumb:

If you have a chat with Glenn or Darren on 01-580-881288 as to suitability as they should know, being an Autocruise dealer!

We have tow ball mounted bike racks in stock as well, not Thule though,

Bike rack

I have a rack made by Thule and it is really good. I also bought a large bag to go with it for use when not carrying bikes and that too is very good. No strain when fitting bikes or bag.
