Hi
I'm guessing the answer to this is going to be No but here goes anyway. Is there a bike carrier for a 2013 i30 that fits to the rear of the car? I don't have a towbar and don't want to splash out on one (£280 for a basic one that will probably mess with the parking sensors). Roof mounted ones are a problem as I have a dodgy shoulder and lifting a bike that high would be interesting.

Thanks

When i take my bike out and need to transport it i remove front wheel and put in boot.
Of course i'm not carrying other stuff!

It will just fit in with front wheel attached but is easier removed.

Nice idea but there are 2 bikes (wife's) and sometime 3 (son when he's not being a lazy student!).
