Bike Hitch

[xix]

I am trying to decide if it would be a good idea to install a hitch on my Mazda Protege,98, to install bike rack to carry my bike.
But there is also the trunk mount, which would block my rear view window.

Does anyone have any recommendations for which type I should go for.
Why do these hitches cost so much, it almost cost more than my bike.?

I thought of going to the junk yard but finding the same car as mine is impossible.

Any help would be nice.

One option that won't cost you any money is to remove the front tire from the bike, and stick it in the trunk.

I used to have a Toyota Corolla, and this worked, although not as convenient as a bike hitch.

The trunk mount works well for me, and there is still enough visibility to see through, though obstructed.

if you have a trailer hitch on the car there are several mounts that fit the hitch and do not obscure the rear window

www.rackattack.com. I bought a hitch and rack off them and they are very knowledgable

A Protege, even though a good car, is small. You may want to get a car hitch for your bike.

I have one of these and it works Great, you also can carry a couple of bikes.
