Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Honda CR-V for Carrying 3 Bikes

Question:

Hi. Id appreciate a recommendation for a bike rack on my 2008 Honda CR-V. Were not super cyclists, but we would like to take 1-3 bikes on family camping trips. Thanks!

For what you described the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR would be perfect. It's a great priced rack that has all of the nicer features of the more expensive racks and would be perfect. Also, this is a 4 bike rack which actually is the preferred rack to use for carrying 3 bikes as strange as that sounds. The additional room on the arms of the rack make for easy loading and unloading.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
