I posted news about this bike rack I got from Canadian Tire a few weeks ago. Check the archives. It cost normally $120 (Canadian), on sale at the time for $99, attaches to the rear hatch/door with straps (no permanate mounting), holds up to 3 bikes or 100# in weight, made from steel tubing painted black, rear hatch/door can be opened with bikes loaded but will not stay open with the standard struts but stronger struts are available (I have not done this yet but will soon). I have used my rack once so far and found it to work very well. Can't be beat for the price. Especially for you "Americanos" the exchange rate right now for your gringo dollars is around $50% so that would make this rack around $60 your money ! Sounds pretty good to me ! Available from any Canadian Tire store in Canada part #4010750 A1140 Touring Rack, or from the manufacturer, SportRack International, 700 Bernard, Granby, Quebec, Canada, J2G 9H7, phone: 1-800-561-0716 Cheers Frank
