    Bike rack recs?

    BF's parents' graduation present to me was enough money "for a decent bike rack." I'm looking at trunk-mouunted racks that would fit a Honda Accord, and $75-100. They sent $75 in cash, but I'm okay with going over that. Recommendations?

    I'm excited. This means I don't have to pester my parents for use of the minivan if I want to hit the bike trail!
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I have the Saris Bones rack. But iI also have a car that's similarly sized to an Accord and can easily fit my bike inside, which is by far my preference.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    I'd rather do that too, except that my Accord is old enough ('99) that the back seats don't fold. It's a pity, as I could actually get the bike in that car.

    ?? the back seats don't fold down?? My '93 Accord seats folded down. I think my mother's '98 seats fold down. Now why would Honda make seats that don't fold down in -99? That's just silly, Honda!

    Weird, isn't it? I think it's one of those "well, we'll try this!" sort of things. My parents' 2001 doesn't have fold-down seats either, so maybe it's a newer rather than older thing...

    I have been very pleased with our Saris bones too.
