Looking for a 2 to 4 bike carrier that plugs into a 2" receiver hitch. Was about to order one on Amazon and figured I’d toss this up first and see if someone has one gathering dust in their garage first.

Check Harbor Freight. I bought mine with a 20% off coupon and paid like $30. It is actually a really good one too. Holds 2 bikes and has a pull pin to pivot down to unload.

Reviews say they are very cheap, but I put my $800 cannondale and $200 Scott bike on it and have zero issues.

^ That’s the one I was thinking about ordering. Probably still end up getting that since now that I think about it more eventually my daughter is going to grow into a bike that’s too big to just toss in the back and I’ll need room for 3 bikes on the rack.

That’s a very good rack, I recommend that over anything from HF. I have the 4 bike version, its built like a tank. Mine is almost 10 years old and aside from having to replace the nylon straps once it has held up awesome.

^ Good enough for me then. Ordered, it will be here Thursday.

Amazon Prime + compulsive spender = big credit card bills. 🙂
