Loaded the Freelander's rear door up with, 2 adult mountain bikes and a tag along on a universal type cycle carrier "adjusted" to mount on the spare wheel. Loaded the boot with a BMX bike, the front wheels from the mountain bikes and 3 kids helmets. Filled the seats with the family along with some supplies then drove the 15 miles to Wadebridge. We cycled the 5 1/2 miles to Padstow had a pasty then cycled the 5 1/2 miles back to the car and drove back home. All in all a good day out.
Amazingly the rear door stayed firmly attached to the car even with 2 1/2 bikes hung off it!!!!
