What do you haul your bikes on?

[Tuckervill]

If you get the Cadillac, put a receiver hitch on it and use a bike rack, instead of a trunk mounted rack. That way you don't have to take a chance on scratching up the paint, etc. Lots of the receiver hitches are virtually invisible when not in use.

I have an Element, but there are times when I need to haul the bikes on the back (like last weekend, when I hauled 3 bikes to the Big Dam Bridge ride and bought another bike while I was down there!). So I used the cargo tray with fork mounts attached, even though I have a Yakima Kingpin. Two bikes went on the cargo tray, and two bikes went inside.

The reason I like the cargo tray best (or one of those racks that the bikes sit on instead of hang from) is that both bikes were vintage and I didn't want them scratched up. Hanging off the Kingpin, they sometimes come in contact with each other.

ETA: I can't reach the top of the Element, and I don't want to haul a stepladder, and I can't imagine how many times I would hit my bikes on stuff after I forgot they were there! I have trouble remembering the kayak is up there.

Long story short-we are looking for a new car! We've narrowed down the results to either a Tahoe or a Cadillac CTS (car). I know, they are COMPLETELY different!!!

So here's the thing, he thinks that putting my bikes (road and Mt) on the back on the CTS is completely ridiculous . I don't care either way on what they go on, as long as they are safe and comfy . He wanted me to ask you all what you think about a bike on the CTS and what you drive to haul around your bikes?

Your answers will determine the fake of our car buying experience!!!
