I'm interested in a front mount bike rack as well. Another listee (thanks Tony)
pointed out that the bikes are probably going to interfere with the headlights.
Does anyone know anything about the legalities/safety issues involved here. Now
that the weather's warmer I'm going to jury rig a strap-on carrier to the front
and see for myself --- in addition to collecting some anecdotal data on whether
or not the bikes will cause a problem with precious airflow to the rad.


Cheers,
Doug
