Thanks for reaching out!
The best way to carry a bike with your 2022 Mazda 3 hatchback is by installing the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C98BR and using a hitch mounted bike rack. These racks tend to have higher weight ratings, more/better features, and are much easier to install compared to a roof or trunk mounted alternative.
Then if you don't already have a bike rack I highly recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR because it's extremely easy to use and install, plus the unique U-Shaped frame enables you to step "into" the bike rack to load and unload your bike. This can hold up to 60 lb bikes with 3" wide tires that don't have a front fender. If this rack doesn't work for your bike just let me know and I'll be happy to make a different recommendation!
