I was thinking about getting the rear frame/bumper mounted bike rack for my soon to be ordered MCS. Has anyone seen or used one in real life? It looks nice in the pictures. My mtb can't be mounted using the front shock like in roof racks so it looks like I would have to go this route. Looking for opinions before ordering because it is expensive.

 

I'd do the mini do more hitch /bike carrier

Southern J: Saris Bones 2 - I just bought one for my 05 Mini Cooper "S". Fits like a glove and I love it. You can fold the thing and it will fit in the boot (amazing). Will go riding this afternoon in Mission Bay (San Diego).
Good luck on your search.

 

I am also looking for a hitch to carry a bike rack. Has anyone had success? Any recommendations?
