Question:
Hello! I have a 2012 Toyota Camry. I would like to be able to carry 4 bikes 2 hybrids, 2 road. Should I get a Trailer Hitch plus a hitch-mounted bike rack? Or do you recommend another solution? Thank you! -

Helpful Expert Reply:
The best way to transport bikes is with a hitch mounted bike rack. This is the safest and most secure solution that is also the easiest to load. So first you need a hitch on your 2012 Toyota Camry like the Draw Tite part # 36540.
Then for a 4 bike rack the Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 would be a really great option. It has cushioned frame cradles, can tilt and is overall a really high quality rack that's easy to use.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
