I have a 2-bike RoadGear rack that has a ball hitch mount. It has a hinged vertical post so you can access the rear hatch with the bikes still attached. I modified an old VW-412 hitch to work on Goldibox, but one of those hitches that bolt to the towing eyes would work too. I have mine set up to carry 3 bikes, so I use a strap between the top tube of the last bike and the top of the hatch to take up some of the load. There are pictures of the bike rack and hitch in my Yahoo!Photo album and on my web page on the Optional Features page; see my signature for the hyperlinks.
