We are going camping in the new forest this summer (yay!!) and have decided to take the plunge and take the trailer with us, to put our 4 bikes in. When discussing this with a friend, he said i would need to seperate the bikes, as by the time we got there (approx 5 hrs drive) they would have fallen to pieces!!

So, before i go panicking and try to convert my box trailer, has anyone got any experience in this matter? Do i just try to protect the frames as much as i can? I dont think a bike rack is going to be an option, as the car feels loaded enough with the boot full and the roofbox on. Oh, and i am going to be putting things like body boards and wetsuits in the trailer too.

Any advice would be gratefully received

How about a bike rack ON the trailer? As for keeping bikes apart in the trailer, just use some foam, make sure there's no bike to bike contact, and strap 'em all together.

thanks for those - fitted all bikes in the trailer this morning, now i just need to find a way of securing them.

our paths may cross then jk - as i am sure i have got 3 weeks to go too - just look out for the family on scratched mountain bikes !!! :)
