Bike Rack Complete
I just picked up a bike rack for my newly installed trailer hitch, and I was so excited to see both of my favorite toys together that I had to share:

I am a little worried about that. I haven't had it out much yet (I just picked up the rack today), but I've seen plenty of bike racks on the road before so hopefully it won't be a big deal. In MA we have to have front plates as well, so I would hope that having the rear covered wouldn't be too big of a deal. I guess time will tell.
Before this, I would stuff the bike in the trunk with the seats folded down, so at least now I don't have to choose between bringing my bike or bringing my friends. For that, the risk is worth it.

Should have gotten the roof rack and bike mount, wayyyyy sickerrr!!!! and you can put cargo attachments and snowboard or ski attachments. and it looks better than a bike on your trunk and a trailer hitch on your mercedes coupe. haha

I spent a fair bit of time trying to decide between the roof rack and the hitch rack. I decided on the hitch rack for a few reasons. Firstly I didn't want to have a roof rack on my car all the time, which I think looks way more lame than a trailer hitch. Secondly, I think my bike will stay cleaner, or at least more bug free behind the car than on top. Thirdly, I now have the capability to tow a small boat or jet-ski.
Besides, I already have the ski-sack, so no need for a ski rack as well. I could even get a small camper trailer and have the fastest mobile home system you've ever seen!

Advance Auto Parts. I paid $167.07 including shipping, but this was after applying a 15% off coupon code I found online. (AAP15OFF)
Also, I highly recommend using fatwallet.com if you're not already. I got another 7.5% cash back for this purchase. I'm in no way affiliated, but it's worth checking out.
