My New Bike is Here!

[Catrin]

Catrin- I had to have the hitch kit installed, it was so worth it. My friend put a hitch on her Honda Fit, most cars can take one. It is nice since moutain bikes never ride nicely on the ones without wheel trays and I am not able to deal with roof racks being short and clumsy.

I called Mitsubishi and they said my car cannot take a hitch....though perhaps they thought I meant doing real towing....

I have a Saris Bones RS.

I just took another look at the geometry, and I see what you mean. I think it will be fine, though best if I don't try to transport another bike with the Jamis. I will do some research into the hitch mount question, though I probably can't do that this year. I have blasted my 2011 bike budget into smithereens..and 2012, 2013, 2014....
