    Reliable bike carrier for Volt Pulse

    Thanks John, have had a look at this and seems perfect for my needs. Reasonable price too. I agree, Thule are hard to beat for quality but as only being used occasionally this will do the job nicely. Thanks for the link. Stuart

    Reliable bike carrier for Volt Pulse

    Thanks guys. Beginning to think would be best to just bite the bullet and fit towbar. That way theres a plethera of racks to choose from. As the wife keeps saying, its only money and theres no pockets in shrouds but usually shes looking at jewellery or shoes when she says it :-)

    Reliable bike carrier for Volt Pulse

    Can anyone recommend a decent bike carrier? Will only be used to transport a single bike weighing around 19kgs relatively short distances of about 20-30 miles occasionally.

    Newby with Volt Pulse

    Hi all. I've recently purchased a Volt Pulse hybrid and found that it has brought me a new lease of life as i thought my cycling days were behind me. Im 49 and have artritis in both hips and my left knee so using my conventional hybrid was becoming more and more painful. After trying a few...
