A recent post by Maddslacker got me searching for a thread like this and I couldn’t find one. What do you guys haul your bikes with when you have to drive to the trail? I wanna see.
If you’re posting a pic, your vehicle needs to have a bike attached to it! Not looking for pics of your track car, Sunday driver, 4×4 trail truck, or your grandpa’s Ferrari that you will be driving when he croaks. I want to see some utility and function! Also, like I tell my girlfriend, the dirtier the better 😎
I’ll start it off with my Civic:

People sometimes as me why I use tray mounts for my bikes. I explain it to them after I finish loading my bike and they are still fiddling with their front wheel… 😼
I can fit a 3rd bike in between on a fork mount, but it is on the wife’s car at the moment. I only move it to mine as needed.

Here is my truck with the PVC rack I made for it, I don’t have a pic of my accord with bikes on it.

That is awesomeness. My dad being a plumber meant lots of oddities made out of PVC while growing up. 😆

Such a good idea! I also built a PVC bike rack on my truck, but did a totally different design…

I attended an MTB race last weekend and was so pissed that I didn’t have my camera/phone with me when this guy rides up on his "rice burner" with a bicycle rack on the back! It was awesome!

Oh man! I went to a time trial on Sunday and didn’t even think about getting pics of the bike haulers there…granted, I forgot to take [i:2s500jze]any[/i:2s500jze] pictures. I was kicking myself the whole drive to home.
Still had a blast though! 😃

I love my car. 2008 Civic Si Sedan, bought it new, has almost 100,000 miles on it so far. A few mods, but nothing crazy. Different springs, bigger rear sway bar, and some alignment bits. It’s quick (not to be confused with fast), handles well, is reasonably comfy, carries four people, has a big trunk, was only $22,500 out the door, super reliable, and I average 29mpg daily driving. The 8,000rpm redline is fun!!
These pics are old, don’t have that bike or rack anymore, but they actually show the car a little.
More recent pic, with the current rack:

hey hey hey….nothing wrong with that. Unless by ‘rice burner’ you mean something with a stupid body kit and all that crap…

Got the hitch and carrier wholesale through my work. 😄

I’m often asked why I bought an LX instead of a SI. My response is that I bought the slow model instead of the almost fast model. 😃
The SI looks good man!
This is my old go kart/bike hauler:
It was on coilovers with a full Hotchkis sway kit and had all the performance bolt ons they made for that puny engine…So much fun to drive and could haul a TON of gear! It got taken out by a deer 😢

Here is my ghetto-fabulous bike carrier:
