Most Popular Saris for 1997 Honda Accord

The Saris Bones-3 bike carrier is very solid and also configurable. It fit both my Subaru Forrester (mid-size SUV) and Honda Accord (sedan with trunk) well. Installation was pretty straightforward -- though read the clips to understand which goes where. The bike weight, in both cases, rested mostly on the rear bumper. I have used it for both 1 and 2 bikes, and found each incident of mounting the bikes went smoothly and that they were quite well secured. There appeared to be no swaying or bouncing of the bike mount, even on some pretty rough roads. You will want to have a strap to secure the front wheel of at least the first bicycle on the rack (not included with the Saris mount, I used the recommended Softride Velcro Tie-downs).

Fairly quick to install on car, but not designed for women's bikes - since Women's bikes usually don't have the horizontal frame bar. I don't think this was made clear when we purchased the Saris Bones for 2 bikes. It's another purchase to be made, bringing the price of the unit up another 20%.

I haven't installed on my car yet, but it's sturdy and I can't wait to take my bikes for a car ride
