Default Rear bike rack? (not roof or hitch)

I've got a Q7 with no hitch and no crossbars on the roof and I'd rather not drop the cash on either right now. Are there any of those hanging racks that attach with straps that work well with the Q7?

Thanks!

Short answer, no.


Do yourself a favor and before you destroy the paint on your tail gate and bumper, get a roof rack or hitch rack. You will thank me later.

I agree with him. It will wreck your paint, don't do it. Go with a roof rack or hitch mounted bike rack. Depending on how many bikes you plan on using, most roof racks can only support 2 bikes. Hitch mounted bike racks can hold up to 5 and sometimes more depending on the hitch and bike rack of course.

Since roof racks are vehicle specific, you will need to find a rack that suits your year. You can find this information on hitchweb:
Rhino Rack Crossbars

For hitches you can also find them on hitchweb:
Audi Q7 Trailer Hitches Just select the year.

Bike racks:
Hitch Mounted Bike Racks

Hope this is enough information for you to make a decision!
