Tilting bike rack, hitch mounted: update, see 4/23 pm post

camp-n-family, that is a very interesting idea. I will have to take some measurements to see if that works for us. The "drop down" that goes over the drawbar would have to be larger than 2 inches, since the drawbar itself is 2 inches.

And wguss, that idea occurred to me, but notice that there are very, very few vehicles on the road with front bike racks. There must be a reason -- maybe the bikes interfere with visibility?? But I will look into that, too!
