Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Toyota RAV4 Carrying a Womens Hybrid Bike
Question:
I am looking for a bike carrier for my wife. She drives a 2010 Rav with a spare tire and I would like for it to fit on the spare tire. Her bike is called a hybrid. So, I would like to know what model and if I need anything additional for the hybrid. Thanks

The Thule Spare Me Bike part # TH963PRO that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a bike rack for your wife's 2010 Toyota RAV4. We had the chance to install this rack on a similar 2009 RAV4 and it worked very well. Check out the video I attached to see the demo.
Since she has a hybrid women's bike you are going to want an adapter bar like part # TH982XT to allow her to carry the bike level. This product attaches to the seat post and the steering stem to provide a horizontal attachment point for the bike rack. Check out the demo video I attached for this product.
