Well, now that I check the mileage it's about 17, I think, and I'm always on the lookout for something closer but so far that's it.

I used to put the bike in the back of my truck, but when I traded it for a Honda Accord, that took care of that. The minivan (Oddysey) can hold my bike, but it's a very tight fit. I'm 6'2" and currently have a bike with upright geometry (and correspondingly high saddle/handlebars), so even then I have to fold down/remove seats, etc. to get it in there. All in all, the rack is just about, although it is more work.

I got the receiver and three-bike rack so that me, my wife and daughter could all carry our bikes on trips, etc. So far that's not happened too much, but I'm hoping. I've looked a couple of times for a trunk rack for the Accord, but so far haven't found anything that I was confident wouldn't scratch it over time. Maybe as the car ages I'll relax my requirements.
