    Hi all,

    I've gotten the bike, now I just need to get some accessories to go with it, under the bike to work scheme.

    I am mainly looking for a lock, some lights & a car carrier. Except here's the thing - I actually would like to buy 2 bike carriers if I could. Thinking of getting 1 for towbar (will prob change my car later in the year & the plan is to fit a towbar to it), so maybe the Thule EuroClassic G6 LED 928 and also one that I can use until I get a towbar. Looking for recommendations for the second one please, car is a toyota corolla hatchback with a spoiler at the top of the back window.

    Question is, under the scheme, can I buy more than one carrier?

    Also looking for recommendations for a good strong lock please.

    Thanks!

    Carriers aren't covered under the B2W scheme.

    Only complete bikes and associated safety equipment.

    oh b*m :(

    Right, back to the drawing board so.

    I'm looking for 2 carriers, one for a hitch, one not - what are the recommendations? Bearing in mind that the budget will have halved since I can't get any tax relief!

    Not under the BTW scheme - that would be illegal, and encouraging anything illegal is not allowed on Boards

    OP, check out the BTW megathread which gives full details of what is and what is not allowed (and is linked to from the FAQs sticky;))

    Thread left open for discussion of recommendations sought by the OP, but not BTW matters
