Mini Bike rackIn advance of selling my truck, I needed to turn my Mini into a vehicle capable of transporting bicycles. After considering the various options available to me, I chose the Mini Fini Sports Link solution. The Sports Link is specially designed for Minis and becomes a permanent and solid piece of the car's body, providing better support than one of the aftermarket roof racks. Plus the rear mount means the bikes are out of the wind, and easier to access.
