Mount Your Best
Anyone know anything about top mount bike racks?

I drive a 2002 Ford Focus ( I know it sucks) and I have NO racks up there now. I want to add a bike rack that can carry 2 mountain bikes. Is this a simple task? Is there anything I need to do or know before buying a rack? Is it easy to install? Thanks in advance your best answer will be appreciated.
Oh and which is better for holding two bikes? Top mount or trunk mount?

It is actually fairly simple if you are slightly mechanically inclined. Go to a bike store or ski shop that carries top mount racks. My favorite are Thule and Yakima. Each of these manufacturers have specific fits to fit your make and model car. Once you have the cross bars mounted, you can buy any combination of bike, raft, luggage, etc. racks that you would like. They are not cheap, but in my mind they are the best way carry your bike.
