I have just purchased a very nice Civic sport but now dont have anywhere to put the bike.
The thule carrier I have, needs about £200 spending on it to convert to fit the civic.
The other option and one I prfer is to fit a towbar (removable, preferably) and a bike carrier.
Does anyone else have a civic and how do you carry your bike?

I did give these a thought but I carry a couple of bikes, sometimes 3. They are not cheap either, but I think I will be spending a lot to get what I need. |

Can't you put the back seats down and put the bike in the car? Maybe put a couple of spare blankets in there so it doesn't get muddy. Otherwise a towbar would be the best I would've thought!

We have a thule bike carrier that fits to the tow bar. Its supposed to carry 4 bikes but to do that you need to remove wheels and stuff, so only really fits 3. We dont use it unless we take the kids with us, as we need to use those thule cross bar mounts for the full suss bikes. Usually we just put the seats down in the voyager. Trouble is the car is usually full of mud.
