  1. Didn't buy one yet but I'm looking for a 2 bike rack for my CR-V. Next season probably. The roof
    rack is too high and I don't want the spare mount one neither. So far, I looked at many racks and I
    didn't like the ones where the bike hangs by the top bars. On both our bikes the cables go along
    this bar and the bikes seem to move a lot on this type of rack. Then I saw the one you're mentioned
    and it is my first choice so far.

    I'm looking for a bike rack I can use on both my vehicles. My main requirement is that I don't
    want to take wheels off to mount bikes, I want to be able to load bikes quickly, and I want to be
    able to move the rack back and forth between the cars quicly and easily.

    I can't use the trunk-mount type because the coupe has a glass rear window that can't accept the
    straps with metal clips. I also don't want to get roof racks because it seems like it would be
    time consuming to move the tray mounts from car to car, or expensive to get 2 sets of roof bars
    and 4 trays.

    So I'm leaning toward hitch-mounted racks. I can get hitches for about $100 per vehicle (any
    recommendations there?), and I like the Performance® XPORT Flatbed 2 Bike Hitch Rack
    (tinyurl.coml8xy)
    - instead of tray-type mounts it's got movable wheel loops and an adjustable top tube hold-down.
    Seems easy to quickly throw bikes on and get them off.

    Anyone used this before?

    Thanks
