Default Bike Rack

Hi,

I am looking at getting bike racks for 2 bikes. I already have a yakima roof rack, and I am wondering if I should just get something like this:

Amazon Amazon

I think what I really would like would be a backmounted hanger something like this:

How hard would it be to make something like this? And could I do it without having to cut into the car?

I do not think I want one of those hangers that is attached to the back window door...but I am all ears in terms of suggestions.

Thx all

The rear mounted rack fits into a tow hitch. Uhaul will even install it for you
Here are some examples

OR, you could install the hitch yourself if you have the tools

I got a bolt-on 1 1/4" on my xB2 with a Swagman bike rack. It's great!
