Hi All
I am after a bike rack for the family hack but it doesn't seem as straight forward as you would of thought!
We have a 2016 Honda Civic and it seems that due to the shape it is hard to find a bike rack to fit
Anyone else had this problem?

We have Thule aero bars for our 16 civic , assume they make a bike rack section for them ?

I was kind of hoping to get one for the back.
I have an e-MTB that weighs 24kg Don't fancy lifting it up onto roof bars. And my kickstart skills are not good enough to hop up over the bonnet!!

My sister is looking at a rack like this. Is there a chance the 'clamps' can cause paintwork damage, this is something she's concerned with?

The lack of rear cycle rack for the Civic is I think because the boot is plastic. Tow hook mounted rack is the way to go, particularly if you're planning on carrying a heavy e bike.
