Hi,

I have a 2000 VW Golf, road and a mountain bike.

I need to buy a reliable rear bike rack. There are many models on the
market and I can't make a decision.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend something specific.

Thank you in advance

   Probably the two brands with the best reputations would be Thule and
Yakima.  
   One brand that I would definitely recommend *AVOIDING* is "Byke Ryder."  
I had one of their racks break on me once, nearly dumping three bikes on a
freeway, in a construction zone, at rush hour.
