I really like Supergo's 2-bike trunk rack on my 2000 Altima. Its lower half sets the bikes out far away from the bumper, so I never had to worry about the car's paint getting scratched. At least, I didn't until I got rear- ended (yes, while my bike was on it - Amazingly, the bike only needed a new crank...paid for by the other driver's insurance). It also has nice anti- sway blocks that go around the seat tube. The 2-bike model's on sale for $50 right now, but it's on backorder. The 3- bike one is only $5 more, though, and it's in stock. http://supergo.com/profile.cfm?LPROD...lcat_id =7608 |

Bike rack for 1996 Honda Accord
I submit that on or about Sun, 24 Jul 2005 23:37:10 -0700, the person
known to the court as Paul Jackson made a statement in Your Honour's bundle) to the following effect: am in the market for a rear trunk mounted bike rack for a 1996 Honda Accord. Am looking to haul up to two bikes. I am not a fan of trunk-mounted racks. My father-in-law has an Accord Tourer, he's just fitted a towbar specially to take the bike rack, I have a towbar on my Volvo for the same reason. Trunk-mounted racks run the risk of damaging paint and bodywork, and are not as secure as either roof-mount or towball-mount. But the bikes get less blasted than on a roof mount! We use a roof mount for convenience, for tandems and for my recumbent, but hitch mount is our preferred option for sure. That said, the Thule hang-on rack seems to be well regarded by those who use it. http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/fg_vehicle.asp Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

I have a 1996 Accord 2 door sedan and the Saris Bones (three bike
model) works for me. Works great for carrying more than one bike. For occasions where only one bike needs to be transported, I've been folding the rear seat backrest down, removing the front tire and sticking the bike in the trunk. It's quick and the bike is inside the car where nothing can happen to it. Art |

I have had good luck with a bike rack from Rhodes. And they stand behind their products. Mine came with a lifetime warranty. When they couldn't replace a part, one that didn't prevent me from using the rack, they sent me out a whole new current model rack. Life is Good! Jeff |
