towbar cycle rack advice please
I've recently bought a hyundai i30 hatch. I'm thinking about getting a towbar fitted and a towbar mounted cycle rack for 3/4 bikes. The thing is, I haven't got a clue where to start and what the cost would be. Don't want to fit it myself.
I would prefer a detachable type so it looks neat when not in use (vain).
All advice re make of bars, equipment required (adapters/electrics), fitting costs, suitable tried and tested carriers (tilting ones look good so boot can open without detaching) would be very welcome. Can my hyundai carry 4 bikes this way or is it too much? Does fitting the towbar affect my 5 yr hyundai warranty?
thanks.

Take care to ensure that the licence plate and rear lights are visible at all times. This may entail removing the wheels (easy if you have quick-release wheels) and storing them in the boot.0 -

Is that just while the towbar is being fitted, or does the car permanently run on two wheels after fitting?
