North shore rack. (Although, if you have the money, the Recon rack is much better.) OME 906 in the rear to keep it level.

this. I actually took my rear seats out because I never use them. In my area, bikes get stolen off racks like free candy, plus I hate taking the wheels on and off, so I keep my bike inside the truck. always. There's even room for my 70lb dog to still sit back there.

I typically hit the bike park alone. So I just lay down the seats and throw the bike in there!

I never did. I always carried my bikes in my Tocuma..... However, some good setups here. I would have just put a hitch bike carrier on then put them inside. But this is just me.

When I biked, I rode cannondale fully suspended. I see some decent bikes on this thread though..

Modern Trek bikes are tricky because of the steep drop angle on the mainstay of the frame. I just use a hitch mount carrier, but I hae to take off the front wheel. I might be upgrading to a Thule hitch carrier soon, which will set both wheels on the carrier.

I plan to do a 2' lift suspension upgrade soon, so that might help with the clearance when the bike is strapped to the back.

I love my Yakima TwoTimer rack. I am unable to find a picture of my bike on it, but here is a link to the rack:

TwoTimer | Bike Hitch Rack | Yakima Racks

What I don't love about it: It is very expensive (I did not pay MSRP for it, though). It is pretty heavy (about 40+ lbs), so it is a pain to install/remove and hang up in my basement. I don't normally leave it attached, unless I plan to ride, so I often install/remove it once or twice per week. Edited: I can't open the back door with a bike on the rack.

What I do love about it: It is very easy and quick to load/unload a bike. I don't have to pull off a freaking front wheel. My gas mileage is essentially unaffected with a bike on the back. It is very stable. My bike does not extend above my roof or beyond my side mirrors, so I don't have to remember to think about not hitting things with my bike (except while backing up, of course).

I have never carried 2 bikes on it, since I always ride solo, but I imagine it would do that well, especially since the tire cradles are all independently adjustable.

No pictures as I actually just took the rack off for the winter but I use a couple of thule carriers (no front wheel) on some homemade crossbars on the roof. Works well and can still use the back door.
