im not speaking down on hitch racks (i may get one) but...
that is going to do nothing to protect your bike unless you have a class III or better hitch and you get hit by a small car at low speeds. a typical sedans class I hitch will probably fold under at most road speeds.
any truck/suv/crossover is going to hit your bike square on and shove it through the back of your car.
