Best Way To Carry Bikes On a 2022 Honda Accord Without Trailer Hitch
Question:
I just purchased a 2022 Accord Hybrid touring and am looking for a hitch for my Thule bike rack. From what I read on your website, it appears there is not one yet so I would like to look into other options.

The best option to carry bikes without a hitch is on the rear of the vehicle with a truck mounted rack for which I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR. This rack installs easily using rubber coated hooks which latch onto the truck lid. It has anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes in place as well. The only downside to a trunk mounted rack as opposed to hitch mounted is that you can't open the truck with the rack in place but you also don't have to install a hitch so they each have their pro/cons.
Please note, the Saris Bones only weighs 13 lbs so it's very easy to miniplate.
