Frank- The best idea for you (assuming you DON'T want your bikes up on the roof) is a hitch or hitch ball mount rack. Basically, you get a tow hitch for the rear. Then, a few companies (OSI is one) make bike/ski/snowboard racks, some even swivel out of the way when opening the hatch! I have not owned one of these (they're on the wish list...) Some sources you should try: Colorado Cyclist catalog: 800/688-8600 Peterson 'Backpacker' is the one they sell, 149.99. Don-a-Vee Jeep: 800/533-7696 OSI Bike carriers, 99.99 to 129.95.
