Expert Reply:
The best option we have would be for a hitch bike rack for your two recumbent bikes is the Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack for 2 Recumbent Bikes # S64650-EXT This would do well for your two recumbents as it can accommodate wheelbases that are up to 69 inches and bike weight limits of 35 pounds.
For your two mountain bikes you would need to go with a roof rack option. If you have a factory roof rack already all you would need is a bike rack like the part # TH599000.
If you need a roof rack for your vehicle you would need to email me back with your year/make/model so that I can recommend the correct parts.
