I used clamp on (gutter mount) bars on the roof on my '86 GL.  I just kind
of piled 4 bikes on top of each other and lashed them down.  Made it to NH
and back (from DE).  Looked a little bit like the Beverly Hillbillys, but
it worked. I got the clamps and bars for free.  Half a dozen bungees, and
you're set.  I turned the handle bars sideways for better stacking.  I may
have taken off a few pedals, too.  I use a suit-case bike now.  Fits inside
real easy.

Subject:    Best inexpensive bike rack for hatch

I'm interested in a fold-away, inexpensive (under $75.00) bike rack capable
of carrying 3 bikes.  I don't need anything expensive or incredibly
well-made because it will be for occasional recreational use.  We are not
serious bikers.  Up to now, have traveled with 2 bikes inside the Vanagon
(90 Multivan) but 3 would be too crowded and we couldn't take the dogs.
Anybody have any ideas?
