COOL! What color is your Element? Ours is the old Sunset Orange w/grey fenders.
Hi Lisa!

There are several other Element owners here as there have been a few threads about how great they are for bike hauling, so welcome to the club! Mine's a 2004 in green. My step-mom has the sunset orange color, 2003 model. I love that color. The new colors are so pretty too; if they would just make a hybrid I'd be tempted to trade up!

We don't strap our bikes in. We remove both back seats, and hubby made a device that allows both bikes to be fork mounted in back, and even has extra parts he made to hold each front wheel separately. It's very cool but leaves a bit less space for luggage than doing what you're doing.

We're getting ready to travel to Ohio to visit his family this week, and the bikes will be traveling with us.
