Subject:      Re: Anyone got a bike rack or towing hitch?

Why not buy a decent Thule or Yakima and mount it vertically on the back?? I have seen alot of people do this. Then you can take advantage of all of the other attachments for those racks.... I have a tilting rack on the back (my 87 has a tow hitch) as well as a full blown Thule system on the camper top. You can never have enough rack space! I wouldn't bother with the cheapy strap to the hatch solution. They are a pain in the ass and not very sturdy. Remember you get what you pay for. I have enough money tied up in mountain bikes and windsurfers to warrant spending alot of money on the best quality racks to carry the stuff.
