Bike rack

[Yamas]

Hello all, finally decided to pack a bike on back of mh, do we need a reflective board for UK. I can't find an answer anywhere

Certainly doesn’t look like you do. See below

Cycle racks and warning signs

OK got a bike rack and one of those red and white warning signs with reflectors for when the bikes are on BUT When the bike rack is empty (and folded up)do you still have to put the warning sign on it I have tried but can find no guidance

In the UK, you just need to make sure a numberplate and lights are all clearly visible. As long as the rack with bikes on doesn't cover them up, you're fine.

You only need the plate for Italy & Spain.

If they bike rack protrudes more than 1m past the original rear of the vehicle (normally taken from the number plate), then yes you do. If it doesn't extend more than 1m, then you don't.
Also, the bike rack / bikes mustn't obscure any vehicle lights and / or numberplate.

As always you all come up trumps . The Lakes it is, then off for a tour of Scotland, along with hubby's bike, fishing gear, metal detector and Kayak. I'd best get some films uploaded . Thanks again
