Bike Rack for Hatchback vehicle? I have a hatchback-style Vehicle (2007 Ford Focus) and a KHS Urban-X Bicycle.


Are there any standard styles of mount that work best in this situation?
Can you recommend any in particular or point me towards particular styles?


Thanks!
My answer only applies if you will be hauling your bike(s) frequently or somewhat frequently. My solution may not be worth it for occasional use, because one would need to invest in a trailer hitch for mounting the rack. 

Get a trailer hitch like this: (Notice that the "trailer" hitching part is removable and the bike rack fits into that spot) And then choose one of several trailer hitch bike racks.

You may or may not haul a trailer, however, the bikes will ride a hitch mount just fine. With a hitch mount you don't have to worry about overhead clearance or (usually) the inability to open the rear hatch of the car. 

My hitch mount can haul 4 bikes, (and I can still open the trunk) but I haven't used the total capacity yet.

Why do I like this?


The bike rack locks onto the trailer hitch in 5 minutes or less
The bikes are situated in 15 minutes or less.
I'm good to go. I don't have to worry about strapping things down or getting the trunk open, or overhead clearance.
