3-bike rack
Looking for a car rack for 3 bikes - a trek MTB, Trek Verve and a Giant Roam. Our cars are a Forester and a Camry Hybrid. We tried an Allen 3 bike trunk mounted rack; but that failed within the first 10 miles w/ two bikes (a straightened hook!).
Hitch/Roof carriers require separate installations on either car while trunk racks offer portability. But trunk racks will require taking off/installing every time the trunk needs to be accessed.
Checked the Saris and Thule trunk racks, but the reviews are mediocre at best, and often from people using it for two cars. Any ideas? Especially those who have used three bikes on a rack for a while?
