I have a two-inch hitch, with a Yakima bike rack. I love it. The rack locks, so no one can steal it. The rack also has a built-in locking cable, so they can't be stolen, either. It's so easy. Any trailer hitch place can set you up with the hitch.

CRV Rear Bike Rack??
To disable ads, please log-in.
It has occured to me that I'll need a bike rack. I will not get a roof bike rack, I won't be able to reach it, I'm gonna have to have a rear rack. Problem with that is that I have a Honda CRV which does not come with a hitch. Does anyone have this same problem, if so, how did you resolve it.
Geez, haven't even gotten Oscar out of the shop yet & already am becoming obsessed

I also have a CRV. I can put 3 bikes on top using a step stool. I also have a Thule Spare Me for the rear tire. It can be locked on; however it only carries two bikes.

I would recommend trying the local bike shop. We have a Thule Speedway 2, which we used on our Saturn VUE. It is now working great on my new Dodge Caliber. I think CRV's have a spare tire though? I am not sure it will work with one.
You could check Thule's website. Some others to try:
Yakima- Looks like the Spare Joe would work
Saris- I see a lot of the Bones racks around here. Not sure it would work with a tire.

CRV bike rack
I have a CRV and got this hitch from Uhaul: http://store.uhaul.com/hitch_detail.aspx?id=3704
Very easy to use with a bike rack - this is what I bought for 2 bikes: http://orangecycleorlando.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=3320
Good luck!

Hi, sorry just saw this post. I have a CRV with a thule bike rack on the back. I had a hitch installed a U-Haul. I think it was about $150. The rack was another story
It works great though.

A friend of mine has a CRV and she got a bike rack that mounts on the spare tire holder, similar to this unit:

I have a Jeep Wrangler, and got a spare mounted bike rack from Saris. It was fairly easy to install... I did it myself! The hardest part was hefting the spare tire back on.
Here's what it looks like:
