Expert Reply:

We can help you with a trunk-mount bike carrier for your 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, such as the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634 since it uses fewer straps (4 instead of 6) and since it includes locks. A video on this rack is included for you.

We can also possibly offer you the option of a hitch and hitch-mount 2-bike rack that avoids the weight of a loaded carrier resting on your car's painted surfaces. Hitch racks are also easier to install and remove since they do not have the mounting straps that trunk racks do. With a hitch such as # C11333 on the car you have the ability to use a cargo carrier like # C18145 or a 2-bike rack like the platform style Swagman XC # S64650 or the hanging-style Thule Camber rack # TH9058. The # C11333 fits the 2013 Countryman so long as it is not the John Cooper Works version.

If you like you can let me know a little about the specific bikes you want to transport (type, size and weight) and I can fine-tune recommendations.
