What Kind Of Bike Carrier Do You Have?

[7rider]

We are looking to buy a new hitch type bike carrier. What kind do you like?

For our 1.25" receiver hitch, we got the Thule T2 rack. It holds the bikes upright, you don't need to remove the front wheel, it easily carries a wide variety of bikes, and it loads in about 2 seconds. Very simple. Very easy.

In the spirit of full disclosure..
Cons: Locking core is a must. I personally use a cable lock for long trips for added security. And the rack stays on all the time as it's a p.i.a. to remove. But, we rarely drive that vehicle, and when we do, it's usually to cart the bikes somewhere, so it's no biggie.
