Pendle's bike rack put in a strong performance.

There are six straps, offering plenty of adjustment, and, as with our winner, it can take three bikes, again weighing up to a total of 45kg.

The rack is really simple to fit, and is even cheaper than the Halfords design.

It just missed out on the top spot, due to a lack of cradles or dividers to prevent bikes from clattering together.

It does come fully assembled, though.
