Roof rack bike mount

[wakandan]

Are there bike mounting accessories for the roof rack similar to what seems to be available for kayaks, surf boards etc? I haven't been able to find any Yakima bike mounting accessories so far.

We will all be curious, please report before and after installing rack with bike mount and bike on energy use, average Wh/mi from the energy app
Thanks in advance

In my experience, regular energy consumption is ~299 Wh/mi with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons tires. With 2 MTB on top using Yakima bike carrier, it’s ~425-450 Wh/mi.
