I have a hitch mount rack that I got from WalMart for $70 CAD. It
swings down with bikes on it so I can open the rear hatch. Here's a
pic of the rack down:

 ---- This rack is designed for 3 bikes --- but I just did 3000 km on
a trip with 4 bikes on it. T'was no problem. It's made by SportRack.

Cheers,
Doug
