Bike Transporting

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.

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.

When you are shopping for a car, just do some research on the ones on your short list and see if someone sells an aftermarket trailer hitch set up. You might be surprised how many you can find.

My parents have a Toyota Matrix and we found a hitch setup for it
