Default Bike rack for the S

Hey guys,

I'm looking to get back into triathlons and need a way to transport my road bike. I did a quick search but didnt really come up with any definitive answers. Those of you who are happy with your rack, shoot me some info.

If you have pictures of your rack, please share!

Thanks!

Thanks Christopher.

That eventually could be an option. I'm currently looking for a rack that that sits on the trunk/bumper.

I borrowed a friend's rack of that style to do a test fit - decided I'd never get one for my S based on how the straps would need to be attached - to the very small verticle seam at the edges of the trunk. It might have worked, but I was worried about bending the trunk. Plus I didn't want to deal with scratches, or having to apply some 3M stuff at the attachment points to prevent scratches.

I test fit the same rack on my car before I decided to make my wife's Accord our bike hauler. It fits nice on the s2k. Very easy to adjust and carries bikes great.
