Hi folks

Friend of mine is having a bit of a tough time and deserves a weekend break with friends in Surrey, where we can have some fun on the trails.

Trouble is, she is on a really tight budget and can't afford a bike rack to bring her and her daughters' bikes. Car isn't big enough for the bikes to go inside with three people and camping gear.

So, is anyone in or near Shrewsbury able to lend a bike rack that would fit a small-ish hatchback? It's a Corsa.
7-10 August.

I am not nearby, so cannot offer you a pint or a coffee immediately, but the universe will surely be kind to anyone who can help.

What say you, Shrews?

I could find you a roof bike holder to borrow, but it only takes one bike, and she'd need to source a roof rack with square/rectangular bars first (my bars will only mount to lengthways roofrails which are a permanent part of the bodywork on an estate car)

Sorry, realise that's not the greatest help, but come back to me if nothing else better turns up. Am in Shifnal, but we find ourselves in Shrewsbury at least once a week.
