Bicycle Racks?
Anybody into road or mountain biking? I'm curious if anyone has a roof rack to haul bikes around? If so, brand? Pics?

I think that might look a little weird on a Camaro. Just my opinion. You gotta do what you gotta do though man.

Putting a bike roof rack on a Camaro is just wrong. Use a removable trunk mounted rack if you have to use something to transport your bikes.

Can you post a pic of this? I miss riding my bike in the country since I got my Camaro.

IMO, to put one of them contraptions on a Camaro would be like my 89 y.o. grandma driving a monster truck.....they just don't mix.
Sorry

I have had hitches on almost every vehicle I owned. One for my SS will be installed as soon as the snow melts. I bought it from etrailer.com which is probably the best place to get one.

Roof racks invite paint damage one way or another. . .

I ride a couple thousand miles yearly on my road bike including riding RAGBRAI each year but I just don't think I would put a bike rack on my Camaro for fear of scratching the paint. I don't think I would want a receiver hitch on may car, but I have a bike rack that mounts on the receiver hitch on my truck and I love it.

guys ... it's a sports car. i've seen porsches and 3-series BMW's with roof racks carrying bikes .... what would make the camaro any different? i'd put a roof rack on my '99 Z28 if it were not for the glass t=tops. i have the same question concerning a c6 vette.
