The WingBar is the latest (and best looking!) in the range of Thule's load carrying roof mounted bars. Like all of Thule's roof bars, the WingBar is a modular system made up of a pair of bars, a foot pack (in this case only the Rapid System can be used) and roof fitting kit (when roof rails are not fitted to the host car). If your car has roof rails fitted as standard then you only need to buy 2 items - Win ...

Ideally, said customer will live in an apartment up or down some stairs and work in a 'creative hub' or open plan office in a converted warehouse. Or, you could be none of the above and just buy this bike because it looks great, is very well conceived and put togeth ...

One of the best new products at Eurobike 2012 was a range of bike racks and bags from the kings of the car roof, Thule, called Pack 'n Pedal. Designed to fit almost any bike and with the Thule DNA of quality, innovation and design clearly evident, Pack 'n Pedal is being marketed as - 'a new generation of bike racks and bags for city commuting as well as outdoor adventures'.  The rear rack mounting system do ...
