The in-car bicycle rack makes full use of the Civic Tourer's class-leading load space and unique centre fuel tank layout. An aluminium rail is mounted in the deep boot well. Sliding brackets are attached to the rail, which feature a T-bar for the bicycle's front fork to slot onto. The rear wheel rests on the back of the folded-down rear seat, while tall uprights at each edge of the rail have a slot to secure the front wheel hub. A fixing belt secures the bicycle frame using the existing integrated load bay lashing rings. This flexible system means that different combinations of passengers and bicycles can be accommodated. A driver and passenger can sit up front with two full-size bicycles securely mounted behind them; alternatively, just 40% of the rear bench seat can be folded down, mounting one bicycle in the load bay, and allowing space in the back seats for an additional passenger, plus luggage. Phil Webb, head of cars at Honda UK, commented: 'The addition of this cycling accessory for the Civic Tourer once more demonstrates the inherent innovative nature of the Honda brand. It also goes to show just how much you can get into the back of a Civic Tourer.' The In-Car Bicycle Rack can be combined with existing Honda accessories, such as the boot lip protector, boot side net and roof cross bars, to make an even more versatile car that suits an active lifestyle. The unique bicycle rack will have its public debut at the 99th Giro d'Italia, for which Honda is the official sponsor and supplier of support cars. Riders on the event complete a gruelling 3,383-kilometre race course that finishes in Turin on 29 May.
