Bike Rack Needed

Does anyone local to Pompey have a bike rack we can borrow for a couple of weeks?

When carting bikes around we usualy use a carrier that goes on the spare wheel of my car, or even the roofrack.

Mrs Nasher needs to take one of the boys bikes to school every Monday and Friday for the next couple of weeks, but I need my car for moving some gear about next Monday, and moving the boat about on Friday afternoons. School being 15 Miles away means he can't ride it there either.

The car it needs to go on is a Pug 206, either on the roof or tailgate, and it will only need to carry one almost adult sized bike.

There is obviously some beer in it if anyone can save me having to buy another rack.

Thanks

Nasher.

Does Mrs Nasher have a towball, if so I think I have something suitable at Mum and Dads (and I'm hopefully heading that way this weekend). If not I'll see if our old strap on one is still kicking around.

Thanks Jimbo

Unfortunately no towbar on the 206.

No worries Nasher - I'll have a hunt for the strap on one. Be in touch tomorrow.

Many thanks to everyone thats offered a rack.
Gives you back a little faith in life that there are so many people wanting to help.

Jimbo
Thanks for the offer, and I've replyed to all the PMs seperately.

We are now sorted with a rack that a colleague at work has given us.
I expect its quite a common story, he brought it for his hatchback about 5 years ago, used it once and then swapped the car in for a people carrier.
Been hanging on his garage wall ever since and he was glad to be rid of it.
Ta Les!

Nasher.
