If the bicycle front tires come off easily, take a look at this truck bed bike carrier. It's a lot cheaper than a front hitch. I had mine for two years now and it works great (5-stars) for our two adult bikes. When not used as a bike carrier, the bar can be used as a cargo bar depending on the truck bed side walls.
I made a homemade pair of these out of angle iron. With the fork mounts staggered, I carry 4 bikes, with the back wheels bungee corded to the other crossbar. This lets me carry 4 bike, but still gives full use of the bed below the bed rails. Works great, and I can put my 120qt coolers, firewood, cornhole boards, etc. in the bed.
