I've just bought the Thule XLT low rapid fit feet which go in to the Fixpoints on the roof. Set of Aero bars and the Thule 591 Pro bike carrier.

It's simple to setup, easy enough to remove when required and tidy enough to not look like someone has erected scaffolding on your roof.

591 fits my Ibis Mojo well enough and if it can fit that then ANY bike will fit it fine :-D

Was driving over to Surrey Hills on Sunday at 80-85mph with no issues too so don't think you're restricted to 50mph!!

It's for the kids bikes so was rather hoping for a boot-mounted contraption - will bear that one in mind though.

I've got a Hollywood (FB1 or something!), for my E39, never let me down on my 400 mile trip to France, a few summers ago..
