I have the rockhopper disc - great bike

Sorry antc. Didn't follow the thread. Best picture I can find right now is http://www.recycled-cycles.com/Shopping/Accessories/Car Racks/57315.jpg
Its kinda of like that. Same idea. It rests on the boot door. Attaches via hooks that go on the top of the boot (the boot hinge) and then the bottom hooks on the bottom of the rear bumper. But I hook it on the bottom of the boot door. Hard to explain without pictures.
But as Matt has said that his car has a spoiler. Then i'm lost for ideas although this must be a coommon problem.
You can get racks that mount on rear hitches/ tow balls. I also think that if you have a spare wheel thats located under the car, you can mount them on that?
But I think that none of that helps you though.
I no! Think roof rack...

I used a plastic PVC sheet and put the back seats down before I had a roof rack. it only takes 2 seconds and I like my bike being locked inside the car.
The leon should be plenty big enough when you drop the rear seat.
have you tried asking the local branch of halfrauds if they have anything that will fit your car with the spoiler?

Also agree with the above. MTB-ing a a gentle work out. Any exercise you enjoy is a good thing right !?
I love riding my bike, and in 100% of all cases prefer it to taking a car, in ALL conditions ! Its a very relaxing sport, and a nice way to get fit.

Mountaining biking can be as relaxing (if you live in Norwich) as you want, or as adrenaline fueled soul sapping (if you live in Scotland) as you want!
LMAO. Listen to the above. Comes from a dude who eats a mixture of greul from the stomach lining of a sheep.
You are indeed right, Norwich is very flat. There are no natural trails, however, im only 1 hour away from Thetford, arguably one of the nicest places to ride in the near vicinity of Norwich and surrounding areas.
Although, Norwich in naturally flat the man made hills are just as fun as the natural ones !!

Thetford is FUN. Its real good if your pretty new to the sport too as its quite flat. Its super smooth fast single track, some fire roads, and a couple of cool bomb holes. Ive only ever raced there so I saw it in a different light I guess, but its cool there. Theres a few different trails there, and some dj's, although they might have been pulled, I cant remember.
Did you block me on msn Vinny?

Anyone know of any websites where I can find local trails?
Soldato
MBR? although you have to order them, best way is to just use bridle ways. Cyclists don't have right of way on footpaths, so shouldn't be on them (although it isn't illegal, and I've never had any problems with it).
