Bike Transporting

I have a full size pickup, but you could just add a hitch and small trailer to just about anything.

Ive considered that since a little trailer and the bike dont weigh too much. My only question though, is there a hitch you can add on but that can be taken off some how when not using it? I really dont like the look of a trail hitch on small cars but could deal with it when using it.

I've dragged my bikes all over the country with my old 4 cyl. S-10. Anything you put a Reese style hitch on isn't going to come off of very easily.

Here's what I use:





I now have almost 200K on mine and I'm still averaging 26mpg, with high's of 30mpg.

It ain't pretty, but it get's the jobs done.

That's a tight rig...

I am not a track guy , but for towing our bikes on an open trailer I am using a Honda Ridgeline. This is a comprimise because my work has commuting so much during the winter that a V8 Pickup is no longer practical. Also Mrs. Gunnut insists that she be able to drive whatever I own. The Ridgeline will tow 2 heavy cruisers with the dry storage trunk in the bed stuffed a gear stuffed,and the bed loaded and 5 people in the cab. It is a nice comproimise it is essentialy a SUV with a bed rather than truck

Hey if you need to get it somewhere...It works.

[Trip]

I love how he says he isn't looking for truck but other options and some people are still like "get a truck." People need to learn to read...

It's not real noticable to me at all, but yeah, you could take it off when you aren't using it. It's just a couple bolts and a u bolt holding it to the car. Just hide the electrical under the bumper or something.
