Recommendations for Carrying Bikes with a 2019 Mini Cooper
Question:
What bike rack do you recommend for a 2019 mini cooper?

Expert Reply:
For your 2019 Mini Cooper we have a couple different options for bike carriers. We have roof mounted rack options and trunk mounted options.
Most people prefer the trunk mounted option for ease of loading. I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 or the 3 bike # Y02633. This carrier is very well made and comes with the locks to secure your rack and secure your bikes. If you have the optional wing type spoiler, the straps can be routed under the wing not over it. If you are concerned about the spoiler, then the best option to avoid any contact is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top # HRF2-3 or # HRF2 which can be adjusted to make sure the spoiler is untouched and the rack secure.
If you prefer a roof rack, then if you have the flush mounted rails I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, the RidgeLine Towers # Y00145, and the RidgeClip Fit Kit # Y06009.
If you have a naked roof with no rails, I recommend the Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB130-2, the Through Feet # INXS250, and Custom Fit Kit # INK463.
Then for either of these options, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum # RRRBC050 which will hold the bike securely by the front wheel and includes the locks to secure the rack and your bike.
