Sometimes I have 4 bikes to carry, sometimes 2 &sometimes just 1, so I like having options. I have a forester w/o the fin at the top and a class I OEM receiver hitch.
- 1 bike - I use my SUV rack which sits on the back bumper, or I use my small (older Subaru brand) hitch rack designed for bikes w a straight top tube. Wifey's Trek FX fits on it too, just at an angle. no picture of that rack for some reason sorry. Can't even find an internet picture, weird
- 2 bike - same deal I have choice of 2 racks. I really do like my SUV rack and bought it used at a yard sale over 10 yers ago. It's rock solid and w/o the bikes on it I can still use the hatchback
- 4 bikes I have to use the SUV rack in combination with my larger hitch rack, see photos
