if you gotta get your bike somewhere, that may be the only way to do it!

I would rather rent a SUV for a day than deface the car with a bike rack

i agree it doesnt look great at all. but for an avid moutian biker, this could become an issue. when i was in highschool i did x-country mountian biking 3 days a week. renting an SUV would be expensive.

if you arent bringing an extra equipment, it might be better (looking) to take off the front and back wheel and put the bike in the trunk, providing you dont have a huffy w/o quick release
