Post by Kitt99 »

I have a 99 Bonnie w/ a hitch. I was wondering what racks I should be looking for.

What type of bikes? Some frames are hard to secure. I've heard good things about the Yakima and Saris racks.

I have a GM accessory bike rack. Holds 5 or 6 IIRC. Mounts right to the hitch on the 01. Works great, very stable. Worth the money I shelled out for it.

I have a couple fixed gear roadbikes that I will be using to commute to the beach for work. I was just pondering the idea of a used bikerack so i can bring them with me when I go back up th PA for college in the fall. I will have ton of stuff to bring with me so there wont be much room in the bonnie for my bikes.
