I used a standard Rhode gear trunk rack (the kind that
is super adjustable and fits on most every car) to
carry lots of bikes over lots of distance.  I crammed
4 bikes on it (although designed for 3) and drove the
Al-Can highway numerous times like that.  Never let me
down.

If my yakima experiment fails, i'll happily go back to
that.

Find it used for like $30...

good luck,
