Hello All:

I was wondering if anyone here might have some roof racks for bikes, the 'long rail' kind that attach to your cars factory rack crossbars ?  (Thule, etc)

Love to hear any opinions about the Pros / Cons of carrying bikes on the roof. 

Our newly acquired Taurus / Sable has a factory rack, and its moderate height seems to make roof carrying a nice option.

Thanks for any ideas !

Pros:  Bikes are out of the way and there is a lot more room in the car.  No damage to bikes if you are rear ended.

Cons: Poorer gas mileage, garages, and low underpasses.

Hay David, You have my phone #,but I do not have yours, soooo I thought I would holler at you on the internet- If you guys are coming  over give me a call, I will give you my address in exchange for your phone #.haha. To get fitted to bike will take an hour or more-give or take, so lets do it today.
