I understand that the Countryman comes prepped for a rear-mounted bike rack, but I'm unable to find out where I can purchase the rack itself. Any ideas?

 

Don't think you will find it in the US yet. My MA said no accessories will be available until at least "DEcember".

You can view it here though: (doesn't look like you can order it from here though?)

I am glad they have the rear mounted rack. Looking at the one on the UK site it looks like a weird configuration - especially when there are two bikes on it. Hope it works well. I never like the ones that go on the roof.

Most of the accessories are now available. The Countryman specific info has been released by MINI USA. You all are able to order.
