Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Fitting Bikes with Fenders
Question:
I have a 2014 Honda Ridgeline pickup, an older womens Bike Friday folding bike, an older Dakota Grizzly womens mountain bike, and a Giant small frame mountain bike. The Bike Friday and Dakota Grizzly have fenders. Would like a hitch mounted bike rack and have narrowed it down to Thule Double track pro because of the fenders. Would that work, or do you have other recommendations? I may eventually get a new Subaru or similar vehicle and would like flexibility. Your site is awesome. Thanks for the info. PS Do they ever go on sale? I can wait

Since your bikes have fenders your best option is a frame mounted platform bike rack like the Thule DoubleTrack # TH92BJ that you mentioned.
This rack is very flexible in the bikes it can fit with it's wider wheel trays as well as being able to fit both hitch sizes of 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch so it would be a solid option.
