Bike carrier recommnd?
#16
Im using a standard Thule 4 Bike 2" hitch rack with cable locks that does fold down but like others have said with 4 bikes its a pain to do. I've just planned on never using the hatch when the bikes are on.

We purchased the Yakima "SwingDaddy" from Sewell. It was a great bike carrier. I was able to carry two adult mountain bikes, one 20" child's mountain bike and 16" bmx on a 1500 mile road trip. It has an internal locking cable that secures the bikes while on the carrier, and the arm swings away so your rear door is still useable while all the bikes are loaded. My only issue with it was self inflicted...my eldest ankle biter decided to hang on the arm while the rack was fully extended. So it made it sag a bit on the hitch. Still worked perfectly fine, just was a little off level. Pics should be attached:
