With Danielle&#8217;s bike not having any horizontal pieces, I can&#8217;t really get a hanging type. That leaves me with the wheel nestling type. Unfortunately those all use a bar to hold down the front wheel, which may have issues with the fender on Danielle&#8217;s bike.<\/p>\n<p>That all said, I came across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.8thcivic.com\/forums\/introduction-pictures\/47518-bike-transport-setup-curt-hitch-pics-06-si.html\">these photos<\/a> of someone using a Thule T2 wheel-nestling-type-rack on a Civic Si. I think this is the bike rack I&#8217;m going to end up with, even if I have to sort things out with the fender.<\/p>\n<p>This should be good for taking bikes up north, to local parks, or things like that. It&#8217;ll cost a bit more than I wanted to spend (about $450 total), but it should be nicely usable. And, thankfully, the rack can be moved to other vehicles in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, now that Danielle has a bike, I need a bike rack for carrying them.
