     I would like to tap into the accumulated knowledge of the net. 
My inquiry concerns your opinion of the bicycle carrier that you 
own-use-love-hate-trash-etc. Why did you buy it, what was the price you 
paid, has it thrown your bike (have you heard of the same model 
throwing someone elses bike), how satisfied are you with the way it 
mounts to the auto, has it marred/scratched the paint (bike and/or car), 
and what about buying one through the mail. 

     There are three models (this should give you a start) that I 
have seen which look promising. They are:
  
     Yakima

     Thule

     La Prealpina (LP)

As in the first paragraph, opinions, thoughts, etc. on these three 
models are needed and appreciated. Respond by email or through 
the net.

     Thank you!
