Re: Mountain Bike basics?

P.S. Justin and I now have a little experience with various bicycle rack/mounts for vehicles, as well, so if you get to a point where you'd like commentary on that as well, just ask.

I have a trunk and fender-mounted bike rack (removable) for my '92 Corolla, and Justin uses an in-bed pickup truck mount (also removable, but he leaves it in for convenience) on his '01 F-150 4x4. The rack I use is compatible with non-sedans (small SUVs, hardtop jeeps, minivans, etc.) Since I'll eventually be getting a new car, I tried to find a rack I wouldn't need or want to replace in 2-5 years. I'm not a big fan of permanent roof-mounted racks for sedans and compact cars, but they are arguably the most sturdy and we do have a friend who migrated to one after using the same trunk and fender-mount that I use.
