How can i carry two bicycles on a Citroen C2? It seems there are no roof racks on the market for the C2 (something to do with there being no brackets on the roof probably) and because of the split opening boot, there seems to be no boot mounted racks that say they are compatible. I don't really want put a tow bar on because of the expense, but is this my only option? will it be OK with a boot mounted rack regardless?

Bicycle question! Suspension on "folding" mountain bikes? I live right in the middle of the city, but I want to get back into cycling. I was planning to buy a folding bike that I could put in the back of the car - I have a very small car and can't get a bike rack or roof rack to fit. There are three bikes I'm looking at, in quite different price ranges, are as follows. A Dahon Jack, 2008 model. £230 http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/14967/Dahon_Jack_Folding_Bike_2008 This bike has no suspension, but does seem to have bouncy tires! A Land Rover City Elite 2008 model. £230 http://www.foldingbikehut.co.uk/product_info.php/pName/land-rover-city-elite-2008/cName/folding-bikes-land-rover-folding-bikes This has some suspension at the front of the bike. A Dahon Martix, 2008 model. £430 http://www.awcycles.co.uk/brands/Dahon/Matrix,%202008/12714/index.aspx#specification This bike seems to have the best suspension - hydraulic at the front. I'm looking for a bike that will cover bumps if I ride "off road", say through woodland paths. I'm not that serious a cyclist, so it's not going to be speeding up mountains and across logs, but at the same time, I'd expect to be able to have some bounce-factor. At the moment, I've got a standard mountain bike with front and back suspension, which I use anywhere - on or off road - which I find fine. But I need one that folds to be able to transport it. I'm assuming that in order to get this "smooth" ride over bumps, the Dahon Jack would be unsuitable as there is no suspension. Would there be a significant difference between the Land Rover model (city elite...city riding?) and the Dahon Matrix? I'm looking for a bike that'll last me a decent amount of time, and I don't want to find out that the Land Rover isn't really suitable. I'm wondering if the extra £200 is a worthwhile investment in the ride...I can't afford to buy the Land Rover one, find it's no good, and then buy the Dahon Matrix on top. Though I don't mind spending the money on the Matrix if it'll fit my purpose. Any suggestions?

Moving bicycle from Bristol to London (UK!) - train? courier? other? Hi! I recently took up a new job in London, and I'm moving there from Bristol. I want to take my new bike to London.

Bike rack for a 2002 CRV, help? I have a 2002 CRV and need a way to carry my bicycle on an upcoming cross-country trip. I need to be able to access the trunk space so I don't think I can go with a hitch rack. I have a spare tire, however I can't say I have the utmost confidence in one of those systems keeping my darling bike safe at freeway speeds. I've been interested in using a roof rack, however, I'm not so sure how well that system will work for me in the long term. I'm only 5'6", so I couldn't see getting a bike on the roof being very easy even during the best of times (not to mention when I'm exhausted after a long ride.) Another concern of mine is trying to keep my bike out of the hands of a stranger who may want to "borrow" it when I'm not looking. I thought about the roof rack for this reason; it may not be a robber-proof system but at least it'll make it harder for someone to get the bike down, and thus hopefully make my bike a less attractive target. Any help is greatly appreciated!

We are drilling in deep water because of the misconception that it was safer for our coasts. It is actually more dangerous.
