Hi, 

I recall earlier messages talking about cops giving trouble if we mount cycles on a rack attached to the back of a car. Is that still the case? Any solutions or workarounds for this?

thanks,
Shankar

I believe it is a problem only if there is overhang on the width of the car. As long as the bike does not protrude, it should be fine. But this most likely means you would need to remove the wheels, unless your car is super wide or your bike is super small to not protrude even with the wheels on.

I would suggest roof Racks. Back racks are a disturbance for traffic. as long as it doesnt protrude out side in both the sides, its all good
