Just tie them on the roof with bungee cords.

Default We are now selling Yakima and Thule. I prefer Yakima as the crossbars

are round and quieter. The Yakima also makes nice locking bike trays that are very well built.

Give us a call and we can put together a good rack system for you.

Default i've used both.....

the yakima fork mount attachment is way better than thule's. it is more stable and intuitive.

Default I have a Thule roof-mount system, but I carried it over from two previous cars.

If I had to buy anew, I would get something in a hitch-mount, so that I could leave the bike on the rack (locking it up, of course) and drive into parking garages. Riding after work is virtually impossible with my current setup, as I have to stop at home to pick up the bike, and even that is a PITA, because I park in a garage there also!

Default I use a "Rhode Gear" trunk-mounted rack and am very happy with it...

I take it off after each use, and it folds and fits nicely in the trunk. It has these neat rubber things that hold the bikes...keeps them away from the car and each other. Less than $100

Default REI has 20% off Yakima racks/accessories right now. I have the Saris and like it alot.

more aerodynamic. no need for a fairing though i wasted my money on one.
