Hey,

I've got a '96 Fiat Punto Hatchback (3 door), and want to fit it with a
bicycle carrier. Anyone know of a good universal carrier? I'd prefer
a rear-carrier over a roof carrier, but I'm not sure if that's
possible. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe Thule has something? The Thule site doesn't specifically mention
Puntos, so I'm asking to make sure before I buy...

Thanks,

Do you have a tow bar?
Or are you looking for a carrier suiteble for cars without one?

you have to make sure that the rear lights are not (partly) covered by
the carrier or bicycle. This is definitely true for Germany, but most
likely for other countries as well. With the Punto, that leaves you with
either a rooftop carrier or a towbar carrier with a second set of rear
lights.
