Howdy,
Has anyone found a roof mount that a small kids bike can be strapped onto without removing the front wheels?
My wife and I have a couple Diamond Back Approach bikes and have always used a nice trunk mount for them. But over the years we've accumulated a couple kids and a couple more bikes. We're heading to Florida later this year and want to take the bikes along. I'm willing to purchase a Yakima or Thule roof rack for our Honda Civic but I need some info on what mounts will work with these small wheeled kids bikes. Our daughter has a little "Barbie" bike with the 16" wheels and training wheels (which can be removed of course). And our son now rides an 18" wheeled bike. Some of the product descriptions I've read mention 20" wheels as minimal for their mounts. Anyone have any luck with a roof mount for this small of a bike?
Thanks!
