Hauling bikes
The wife and I have decided we want to haul our bikes when we travel. I'm thinking of a front mounted 2" receiver hitch that we can install a 2 bike rack for the bikes. Any issues with engine cooling?...

With a passenger, I use the commute lane, and it is the third lane or more. Do you know the vehicle code that says first two lanes with a trailer? It could be that I have been just lucky in other than the first two lanes.
... i also have used a trailer to haul bikes etc with the camper. Best idea in my opinion except may need hitch extension and in Ca, cant go out of the first two lanes to the right with a trailer in tow.
If I am towing my Samurai, I put the bike rack on the back of the Samurai. If I am not towing the Samurai, I might put the bike rack in the front. I really do not like putting the rack on the end of my 4.5" extension in the back of the TC.
You cant tow in combination in Ca in any of the 2 slowest or right lanes . Combination meaning towing anything .
I was suprised to learn this 30+ years ago while towing a boat early morning in the third from the right lane of four and was cited by CHP
