??? Any recommendations for a hitch-mounted, 4-bike rack? I bought a Softride that didn't fit the hitch well and want to replace it. I'd like access to the back of the car, too (it's a Honda CR-V with rear-mounted spare tire). My hitch is 2". There are SO many out there. Please help!

Google "bike racks" and take a look at the results. I don't remember the company buit when I was looking last fall I saw a number that fit on the spare tire and secure that way. I think REI may have carried it but also Performance or Bike Nashbar. Good luck!

I have a Thule 4bike with 1 1/4" reciever works well. it's also available in 2" and in a swing away... It sits pretty far off the back of my explorer, I can walk between my truck and the bikes easily... should clear a spare easily.
got it a RIE
