The GF and I are going to head out of town for a long bike ride up north at the end of April, so we're going to need to get a trunk rack for the bikes. I don't want to spend too much, but I want to get something that will mount up securely and hold the bikes in place for long drives (6+ hours) and will last a long time. The drive up to where we're going involves a slow, fairly rough hill climb (steep unpaved driveway) so a secure mount is an important feature to me.
A relatively cheap, basic one like this Hollywood one might fit the bill, but for a little more change, this Allen one looks pretty sturdy, although it only holds 2 bikes as opposed to 3 (which is fine for my needs anyway).
The Allen one is also attractive because it will fit over a spoiler. My car only has a small lip spoiler, but the versatility might come in handy for future cars.
Any recommendations?
