Thanks for all the info! I haven't been on this section of the forums in awhile and am surprised to see this thread still so near the top.
I'm not from Europe; I'm just a newbie who doesn't know the correct terminology. LOL I would want an inexpensive but safe trunk rack for my car. I receive a rebate at the end of a year from the bike shop and may use that to help purchase one then. I don't plan to upgrade or accessorize my bike at present; I like it as it is so a rack would probably be the best use of the rebate.
So far, I haven't needed to transport my bike, but my bike computer isn't working correctly so I started a new thread for that. I hope I can get it fixed without going back to the bike shop. Please check out my new thread, thanks.
