We have a Thule T2 XT carrier. It holds the bikes my the wheels, rather than the frame itself. It is super easy to use and doesn't interfere with getting in and out of the trunk. Saris and Yakima have similar products. They're all pricey, but worth it if you transport bikes on a regular basis.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
