I'm thinking about getting a bike rack for my '95 Outback, preferably the roof type that mounts to the factory rack, as I don't have a trailer hitch and the hatch/trunk mount ones don't exactly look safe and secure with their foam bumpers and nylon straps. (Maybe I'm just paranoid.) Anyway, my Outback still has the factory rack and factory crossbars, it's the older type with the really wide crossbars. I'd like to be able to carry at least two older mountain bikes as cheaply as possible. Currently I just throw the bikes into the back but that's kind of getting old. ;)
Another, less important consideration is that the rack system be able to be used or at least adapted to use on a '99 Forester. There's a chance that I might take mom's old Forester in a couple years when she gets a turbo Forester or perhaps a WRX. :)
I've looked at some websites (yakima, thule) but I'm interested in other's opinions/experiences and other brand options as well.
Thanks,
