I bought the towbar one from Porsche. Looks solid, compact and easy to install and uninstall unlike the roof rack option. Will test it in action in a week and will report back.

A hitch rack with a bike on it and living in a state without a front license requirement, this combination causes a problem for camera toll collection. My protest supporting unemployed toll collectors that occurred when the cameras became ubiquitous..

Yeah, when the plate is obscured most states require the plate to be relocated somewhere more visible, some even require lighting. Cargo carriers are notorious for blocking plates, several temporary relocating products are available on the market.

My daughter has been using a roof rack for decades without issue. She is tall and in shape and does not have a garage ? I noticed just how close the bike was getting to some low overpasses when I was following her one day.

I got XLC Azura Easy bike rack. Can recommend, feels sturdy and little cheaper than Thule.

One annoying this is that the current speed limit sign doesn't go above 80km/h in trailer mode. Does anyone know how to disable that? Rack's manual says you can drive up to 130km/h.
