Just bought my racing license for 2014... it's unbelievable the amount of money that is expended in order for me to suffer like never before!

Dang, I was on edge the whole 9-hour trip to the beach last year when we had just 2 bikes, 100+ pounds total, supported by that single hitch support point. I couldn't imagine carrying 4. I'm guessing you can only carry 4 bikes with a 2" receiver, right?

I'm always nervous about my bikes being out on a rack. I usually just pack them into the trunk/backseat to avoid having to look back in the rear-view and see them suspended from the car at 55+ MPH.

You get used to hauling bikes. I have a 5 bike rack and I have actually put 5 bikes on it. Bungees are nice to keep everything from moving around. I am not worried about anything falling off a Class III receiver, with a locked hitch pin. I had an attachment for my snowboards but that wobbled like crazy and freaked me out. I just stuck them in the car instead and cleaned up the snow later.

FSA Omega Compact handle bars from Competitive Cyclist. $5.00 credit, not much, but then, the bars are only $45.00.

Yeah I got them from Performance, marked down to $175. Then used a $115 in gift cards I got for Christmas and 14% off deal they ran on New Years day. I couldn't be happier with them. Used them on the trainer a few times and outside for the first time today. Very comfortable and extremely light! I can't wait to log more miles in them.

I paid full MSRP for my blue ones...and my camo mtb ones.
Ridiculous, but I'd do it again. They are easily my favorite bike shoe.
edit: Actually, I take that back, I got the blue ones on sale at Arts.

not counting tires and tubes, I bought two vests this past fall (one wind vest and one thermal vest), wool arm warmers, and , the first week of January, a new pair of PI Elite bibs.
