Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying a Beach Cruiser on a 2006 Honda Accord SE
Question:
2006 Honda Accord 4door SE / rack to hold at least one beach cruiser

Expert Reply:
We have several bike rack options that will allow you to carry your beach cruiser on your 2006 Honda Accord. Beach Cruisers are typically larger and heavier bikes from a standard adult road bike so my recommendation for you would be to use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Kuat Beta Bike Rack, # B202-114. This bike rack has a weight capacity of 80 lbs and has many useful features such as anti-sway cradles, anti-wobble shank and a tilting design allowing easy access to the trunk of your vehicle.
If you do not have a trailer hitch installed on your vehicle, then you could install the Draw-Tite Sportframe Hitch, # 24787. I have attached the installation instructions as well as an installation video for you to check out. I have also attached a link to all of the hitch mounted bike racks that are compatible with a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver for you to check out.
We do offer trunk mounted bike racks like the Thule OutWay Bike Rack, # TH45JV, that are a more economical option to a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack, but because of the size and weight of typical beach cruisers, I would not recommend using a trunk mounted bike rack. Overtime trunk mounted bike racks could potentially dent your trunk lid or bumper when carrying a heavy load. This carrier has a 66 pound limit and a 33 pound per bike limit.
