Expert Reply:
The most popular, economical way to carry 2 bikes on your 2010 Toyota RAV4 would be with the Yakima Spare Ride 2 Bike Carrier, # Y02599. This premium bike rack mounts to your spare tire.
If you will be carrying any women's, children's or alternative frame bikes, I recommend picking up the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, # Y02531. Bikes with small or angled frames can be difficult to load on hanging style bike racks and they can cause ground clearance issues. This adapter will allow you to load the bikes easily and safely. I have attached a demonstration video of this adapter bar for you.
I have also included a link to an article which shows various styles of bike racks that are available. If there is another style that you would be interested in, please let me know which type and how your vehicle is currently equipped and I would be happy to make a recommendation for you.
