Yeah, I know, that's not what was asked, just sayin' . . .

For roof racks, I like the kind where the front wheel comes off, and you can "lock" the front fork to the rack. Slightly more aero-dynamic (ref: fuel milage), and less bike wobble while driving along the motorway.

... we indeed ride everywhere - however, sometimes it's nice to take the bike with you and explore a new route. Especially on holidays; going to Limburg's hills - I know not really mountains but enough to make your legs tremble...
