Ordered a Draw-tite 24677 hitch. It was $137 on Amazon.
We'll see how that works out. I'm looking on Craigslist for bike racks. I don't even have a bike yet, but I am eyeballing it.
I want a hitch anyway. I don't know what I can really tow with a Class I hitch on my Honda Civic, but I want my options open. I would like to have a small trailer that I can lug some furniture around on at one point. (So I can actually fucking buy furniture off Craigslist...)
This is the same car as mine but with a different rack than I would have:
Newer model car, but the kind of rack I want:
Do you think I could get a hitch adapter that lowers the bike rack mounting point a bit? I was hoping I could make it more aero to reduce drag, but maybe this is just inevitable.
Oooo... what if I could do sideways mounting right behind the trunk! (Bike is laying on its side as it travels!)
That sounds decently aero, but it would take space and possibly be troublesome? IDK.
