Car rack for Catrike

I just bought a new Catrike and i'm looking for suggestions on how to
transport it. I have a Thule trunk rack on my Civic and the Catrike will
ride on it...but it rides very high and I worry about the lateral stability
of the Thule. The lateral straps fasten low on the trunk lid, near the
bumper and the lateral force of the Catrike is much higher than that. If
anyone know or a rack specially made for trikes, or has some creative ideas
about transporting a Catrike on Civic mounted Thule I'd greatly appreciate
it.

Thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

FWIW, I've transported my kayak on a Thule rack many times without the
slightest hint of a problem. The kayak is significantly heavier than any
trike I've seen. At better than 15' long by about 2' high, it also has a
much greater wind load than the trike. I got hooked on Thule racks years
ago when I started skiing (again). They're really sturdy gear.

Best of luck.

Regards,

Phil,

Try http://www.hitchrider.com/trike-rack.htm

However, it requires that you have a frame-mounted trailer hitch on your vehicle.

Sell your car and get a Chrysler PT Cruiser. My Greenspeed GTO fits
inside it without removing any seats.

Thanks BentJay....that'd be a great idea. But I'm getting 52 mpg with my
Civic Hybrid. Not ready to give that up.

Thanks, Areles....this looks like the best idea yet. I'm looking into.

Phil,

Forgot to mention that it's not going to be cheap - a HitchRider rack
plus a frame mounted trailer hitch.
