Car Trunk Rack for Mens Electra Townie
Hi All,
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but anyway I'm having no luck finding out what is a good trunk rack to carry an electra townie. The only thing I've found it the Hollywood gordo 2. Is there any other trunk racks that can be recommended to carry the townie? I was just going to buy the gordo but would like to look around for cheaper options. The gordo is like 130.00. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
RM

If your car/vehicle has a receiver hitch buy a bike rack for one of them. Lower to put the bike on and stronger than any trunk rack. I have 2. One is a Saris and the other is a (OOPs brain fart) I forget the name but is was sold by REI. Roger
PS the other one is a Thule. Roger

A roof rack may be your only option. I think Yakima or someone else may sell a bar that connects from your stem to your seatpost to allow mounting on racks.

A Saris was not an option? I have one that has served me well, even loading a Schwinn cruiser (with tank and fenders; no rear rack) and a mountain bike together. Never had to drive long distances or on freeways, but I'm confident that it would handle that too.
