Barn Door Bike Rack

Post by anatolewilson »

Hey everyone,

Apologies if it's been asked before but can't find it,

What recommendations do people have for bike racks that fit onto barn doors? 2 bikes minimum atm.

I could put them on the roof rack but having been in the back of a touran as a kid when we went under a low bridge with my dad's pride of a bike on the top, I don't want to feel the anger he obviously felt.

It 2016 so believe it's MK4.

Thanks.

Any recommendations for tow bars to fit a mk 4 caddy maxi?
I'm considering getting one myself, but don't want to get one that needs a bumper cut either?

I used to have a caravelle and Witter do very nice stands that attach onto tow bar flange plates. They house a couple of bikes and are very easy to store and remove.

We've got a westfalia removable tow bar on a transporter with a bike rack. It's a really good way of transporting bikes, you might need to twist the handlebars so they don't scratch the van though.
The removable towbar is well worth the extra cost and is very simple to put in or remove.
