We had a roof rack...until it was smashed into the roof of the garage! My husband's boss called him while he was driving home from a Saturday ride and he was distracted enough that he forgot his baby was on top. He really didn't hit it that hard, but it totaled the rack and put about $400 of dents in the roof of the car, but thankfully, only caused a small bit of cosmetic damage to the brake lever.

We thought about putting the fork mounts inside of our Honda Pilot, but we've still got a carseat and it was going to be a big pain to have to take it in and out when we needed to haul two bikes. We got a Yakima Hitch Fork. The bikes attach on the front fork so we don't have to worry about the bikes touching. It's been extremely stable. If it looks like it's going to rain, we put plastic grocery bags on the seats. Looks goofy, but keeps them dry.
