I have a Paulchen and like it but find it is a bit limited when trying to
load larger mountain bikes/fat bike tires. I have an aftermarket bumper and
really like the Kuat racks (that's what I use on my wifes car and my
pick-up truck). My ideal set-up some day is some sort of a swing away
carrier. I find that if I have to get into the back of the bus and have
bikes etc. loaded on it - the hatch is tricky to open..
