Expert Reply:

For your application you could look at the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085. This is designed for Class I - III trailer hitches and can carry up to two 45 lb bikes. It does have a 45 per-bike limit. It uses a middle hook to secure the bikes so you don't have to worry about contact to the fenders on your bike.
