    We got the Thule Apex (4 bike model). We bought it during one of REI’s various sales. We’ve been very happy with it.

    I prefer the kind that hold your bike by the wheels. They are kind of a pain to dial in the first time but they are much more secure. They also do a better job dealing with step-through frames, of which my household has many (including my Dutch bike).

    This is a good point — one of the moms on the C&O trip had a step through hybrid bike (yep, she rode all 184 miles on it — talk about ELITE) and we couldn’t fit it on our rack or any of the other vehicles’ racks. We had a pickup truck at our disposal for ferrying bikes both ways so it was not a problem for us, but if this is a consideration for you, keep it in mind.
