Best Video for NOT putting bikes on a bumper
Came across this video on YouTube. I did not watch the whole thing, as at the end, the person just showed how they made the bumper stronger. YouTube Video - Start at 1:14 Mark

Have to agree with the above statements. That's a whole lot of time and effort put into the weak 1/16" thick metal bumper, that still has points of failure after the fabrication. For half the time and cost, he could have gone with 3/16" thick bumper, with further buttressing at the frame.
That's the method I chose, and I do have thousands of dollars in bikes hanging from the rack, and safely logged thousands of miles with that set-up. My wing(wo)man has confirmed there's no movement en route.
