Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Fold up cycles on luggage rack ?

Anyone tried fixing a couple of fold up cycles on the luggage rack ? Could do with them when going to classic lemans as it will reduce all that pacing about !

Never seen a fold up only full sized!

I made a bike carrier for my +4 so that I can carry a small tandem across the back of the car. The carrier attaches via a bracket made from two square section tubes bolted to the chassis (Williams carried out the work). The carrier itself is made from two smaller section square section tubes that slide into the chassis mounted tubes and this then gives you two rear facing bars that you can mount a standard bike rack on (effectively two roof bars). I'm sure this approach could be used for your bikes.

The other advantage of this approach is that you can still use the rack for luggage.

Thats a Brompton on Kens rack.

I am just about to buy one ( or maybe two!) to go on the back of the Roadster.

A great idea for getting about at all manner of shows/ events etc.

Having had a good look at the market Bromton seem to be the go to brand!

Neil, I think you'd struggle to get two on the rack.

I have to get two fold ups on the rack and drive to Lemans in july !Looking at your pics Roger anything is possible , that's amazing ! Ken , that looks very neat , just need room for another folding bike on there !

I strapped a racing bike to the rack of a 4/4, just took the wheels out.

It was a nice evening and I had the choice of a drive in the Morgan or go and ride a time trial…… solution….. do both.

It raised a few eyebrows and looked like the result of a hit and run!!!

I used a standard bike rack on the luggage rack when I took the Roadster to Williams for service last year, and cycled home. i worked well.

When its servicing time, I try to find a nice weather week, book the car in at IK Classics near Holmfirth put the bike on the back, drop the car off and cycle home - 18 miles.
