I don't need a bike rack . I've been wanting to try this for a while now. I took off the front wheel and pulled out the seat post (both quick-release levers) and it just fits with the passenger seat slid all the way forward but in the upright position. I inserted it CAREFULLY from the passenger side with the door wide open.


As you can see in the 1st pic, the back wheel slid into the boot. It isn't rubbing hard anywhere, but I think tennis ***** stuck over the ends of the front forks and some padding where the handlebars almost touch the door would be good.

I think this is great, because I don't have to drive Sherry's van if I am going alone . Top will be able to be put up - wait, why would I ever want to do that?

 

Sport Link and Bike Link....

My way is free , unless you have to buy the tennis *****

 

Do you know if this fits on the Cabrio???

it might save the back of your seats

 

Thanks for that link - I can find lots of stuff there I want

 

davavd,
It's cool that you found a way to get your bike into the Mini. You should make the short trek over to Abita Springs for the next bike festival:

Dude, throw some oil on your bike chain...

 

It's in the 2006 MINI accessories catalog from the dealer. No, they don't offer a cabrio version.

 

This nicely priced rack will fit on an S convertible
