Hitch and Bike Rack for 2013 Roadster
 

Hello folks. Looking for anyone who's managed to travel with a bicycle on their 2013 Mini Roadster. Mine's a base model, standard. Talked to Mini Mania, and the entire rig, hitch and single bike rack, plus shipping is going to end up costing me more than twice what I spent on the bicycle, not to mention the installation! I ended up getting a trunk "strap-on" model at Dick's Sporting Goods, a Schwinn rack for two bicycles. Will be traveling 1700 miles, roundtrip and concerned about whether this is sufficient. What have you other Roadster owners done? Thanks much!
