Search turns up a lot of old info, broken image links, and recommendations to get a hitch-type tire rack, but no recent recommendations or experiences, so I'm asking, can anyone post pics, recommendations, and experiences of their bike hitches.

What do I need to do to get a hitch? Any specific things to watch out for? Any best ideas? For the record, I'm looking for MY04+ ideas if it matters.

Thanks,

What, no bicylists here anymore?

Get a Sportworks T2 rack. I've tried many racks over the years and this is the easiest rack to use. Sportworks used to be a separate company, but has recently been purchased by Thule. Check http://www.thule.com/ for more info. I'd suggest buying from http://www.rackoutfitters.com

I'm looking for something like this but I'm not sure what type of hitch receiver I need put on my car, what works best, what to watch out for, etc.



I've had trunk mounted racks, but I don't want to deal with marring my paint, denting my trunk lid, or having the bike hit the car.

D'Alan makes a pretty non-obtrusive trailer hitch for the S2K.

I used to sell Thule racks, and the one shown above is great.

I read on these forums that some hitches will pull out of the trunk pan if they are bolted in, and require drilling holes in the car, and some hitches don't require drilling. Are there any you can install without pulling the rear bumper or is that a necessary step?
