Hey roccobike. I just read Consumer Reports about bike racks, and it seems that the least expensive ones (trunk mount) can easily damage a car and bikes. I don't have a hitch, so don't want to pay for a hitch and then pay for an expensive hitch rack. So I'm thinking, why buy an external rack at all if I can keep them protected inside my SUV? Inside my SUV, they won't get crunched (by me or another car) if I have to parallel park in the city. And the price is right! Less than $40 for two fork mounts and the cost of some wood. As a newbie rider, I can spend the difference on other bike essentials.
Thanks so much Camilo and BluesDawg! It really helps to see it. I just showed my husband your pics so he can see what we'll be working on next weekend.
