Yep, that's the risk with the roof bars. It's something I get occasionally nervous about, given that I live just by the most-driven-into rail bridge in the country which is rather low but which I'm used to driving under without bikes on the top.
Given the choice, the tow-bar mounted option is much, much better.

I was going to go down the roof bar route but about a month ago I saw some prick in a superfastaudiwankerbarge forget about the bikes on the roof when pulling into Bridgwater services... clattered the bikes on the height warning sign and ripped them and the rack off the roof, fucking the bikes, rack and the roof of the superfastaudiwankerbarge.
Although I did lol, I was also a bit concerned about my lack of memory and doing the same.
I also picked up a tow bar for peanuts and getting it fitted for a song too :winning:
