Question:

There's a couple of options for carrying bikes with the Pro Series # 63153.
If you don't mind removing the bike's front wheel, the Swagman # S62FR would be a good choice for bikes with a 9mm skewer diameter, and would allow you to carry one bike on your carrier. Installing wheel hoops like part # CC-125 would also work well, allowing you to carry two bikes.
If you're speaking of installing a bike rack into the back of the shank of the cargo carrier, that's not possible with this cargo carrier. Having the bikes that far rearward of the hitch would apply a great deal of leverage to the hitch, likely damaging the hitch of causing the hitch attachment points to the vehicle to fail, which would be bad.
Hollywood Racks offers a bike rack/ cargo carrier combo, part #HR1450Z-85. The carrier installs to the rear, but due to the distance away from the hitch, the basket only has a 90 lb capacity when used on the bike rack.
