Rear racks are ok, but some times wheels of bike ect can block tail lights.

It worked very well with a "S" style rear wing. But when I installed the Just a Cooper rear wing I could no longer use the bike rack because the straps which went under the rear wing before now had to go over the top of it and to me looked like it was too much weight on/against it.

So I had to build a bike trailer.
