You can carry bikes on the roof of your car provided that they’re attached to an adequate roof rack. The height shouldn’t exceed 4m. When bikes are carried on the back of the vehicle they should not obscure lights, indicators or number plates. Bike racks can only rest on the towbar if the maximum weight on the towbar is not exceeded.
In Portugal, bikes should be carried at the rear of the caravan or motorhome and not your car. In Spain and Italy, any protruding loads should be indicated by a square panel measuring 50cm x 50cm. The square must have reflectorized red and white diagonal stripes. Panels can be purchased from Fiamma in aluminium or plastic. In Spain you can use either, however, in Italy the panel must be aluminium. The Fiamma bike covers also have a transparent pocket to insert the rear signal plate.
