The ones that stand the bike up and have clamps for the top tube look best to me and I would have one except they don't come for four bikes.
The ones that clamp at the brakes on the tires are best but useless with fenders.

David - with a platform rack, is is possible to secure two bikes with nearly identical stand over height? Do the hooks at the top have a way to deal with this?

Does that mount work on fenders? I was afraid it would been them. Steel fenders anyway.

easy on, easy off, secure and safe. When I first loaded bikes I couldn't believe this was enough, so a pair of kayak-hauling ratchet straps through the seat rails to further secure the bikes - but it wasn't needed - all it did was vibrate the straps. I've found for each bike, two velcro straps to the headtube - one from each side, and one to each side is all I need to securely hold the bikes and I can drive like - well, like I normally do.

I have the Saris Thelma 3 on the back of my VW wagon, and it works flawlessly! The rack is easily removed from the hitch by unthreading a single bolt. When its on the car, but not in use, it folds up 90 degrees to nest against the back of the car. Its super simple to put the bikes onto the rack too - you just need to lift the bike up about 12+ inches into the trays and wrap a locking strap around each wheel for a solid hold. You can get 3 bikes on the rack and never have to worry about the bikes rubbing on one another, and much better for fuel economy too!

I'm going to be picking up a little Class 1 trailer hitch and bike rack for my Honda Fit, and I'm hoping for some advice. The hitch is easy, but the selection of racks is a little overwhelming, even with the reviews and all that.I'm just wondering if anyone has specifically gone this route and found something they'd happily recommend. Thanks all!
