 Roof mounted cycle carriers. - Fenlander
Anyone use them? We all enjoy cycling on holiday and need 3 full size mountain bikes plus one teen size. Have hired in the past at our destination but cost for 4 is usually £220-£260. You could buy 4 tidy used bikes for that.

Have thought about a roof carrier in the past but not done it as we've always travelled 1000mls+ round trip to Scotland and didn't want the hassle of stuff on top all that way.

This years hols will be Suffolk coast (soon) and Cotswolds (summer) so an easy 130 mile run.... hence wondering about the roof carriers again.

Been in Halfords and it seems I need a crossbar kit at £100 to fit my roof rails and then two twinpack cycle carriers at £80 each. About the same cost as hiring the bikes so works out financially I guess but any cheaper options appreciated.

Any thoughts on costs/quality/availability/brands?
