The weather on Saturday was really good, almost like summer is finally here.

We are going on holiday to Centre Parcs again this year, but this year we are planning to take the kids bikes with us. I looked at the options available and settled on a roof mounted solution. This meant I needed to get some roof bars and then bike carriers to attach to it. I got Thule roof bars which attach to the existing mount points on the roof of my car, then I got Thule bike carriers which attach to them.

We wanted to test this out before we go away, but as the weather has been so bad for weeks, we hadn’t had the opportunity to do this. Anyway, Saturday was good, so we fitted the roof bars and carriers and then fitted the bikes. They were really secure and apart from a bit of wind noise, I wasn’t aware it was there. The kids got to ride their bikes in a new location and I got to put my mind at rest with roof mounting the bikes.
