Question:
We are looking for an economical way to cart 5 bikes for family rides, and thought we might be able to multi-task with a hitch rack that could also be used for luggage if needed on other trips. Is there a way to safely secure bikes on a hitch cargo rack?

I do have a possible solution for you. You can use the trailer hitch mount cargo carrier, # 6501, and then add the bike adapter bar, # 6505, to carry up to 4 bikes on the carrier. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the carrier for you to view. This is the only carrier for 2 inch trailer hitches that has a bike rack attachment option.
