Car bike rack?

Hello friends!

I don't drive but my sister has given me the delightful task of ordering a bike rack for her car (2-door VW GTI hatchback) before we take a road trip this summer (women's world cup!).

Any suggestions? This is foreign territory for me!

Thanks!

Melanie

We ended up borrowing a friend's Sari's Bones rack. It was a nice rack that was easy to attach and actually had 3 bike mounts.

Downsides - we didn't realize in time that my current ride (drop-frame) needed an adjustment to fit on the rack. Her bike which is a standard women's hybrid fit on the rack but is a bit more challenging to maneuver. This rack seems especially built for men's bikes versus women's. Since we were on a road trip, it was also a bit annoying to get into and out of the hatchback as you need to remove the bike each time. But overall an easy rack to use!

Thanks everyone for your input!
