I have a Gary Lee hatch setup which can
carry up to 4 bikes.

I like it alot, however, given it all to do over
again, I would go with the 2" receiver hitch
and the Yakima swing away deal I think.
4 mtn bikes on the hatch makes it a bear to
lift up/open.

I tend to have more bikes on there than I
used to, so for me it's becoming more of
an issue.

GoWesty is considering coming out with a rear bumper
modified (sticks out a few inches further than their
current ones) to house an integrated receiver hitch.

It's only talk at this point, but as soon as they do
I'll swap out my current setup and probably go that
route.

The other issue I have it that I cant carry any of
those weird Cannondale Lefty Mtn Bikes with my
fork skewer setup.
