As an aside, be careful what size bike you put on the inside, closest to
the hatch.  Specifically, if you're mounting up a bike with pretty wide
h-bars (road or mtn), make sure the brake lever does not contact the paint
on the hatch because a couple hundred miles down the road you'll be kicking
yourself...
