Subject:Bike Racks-which one is best?
From:W. Silva
Date:Sun, 11 Oct 1998 17:27:20 -0400

We are looking for a bike rack for our '85 Westy that will attach to the
tow hitch (hole?) and can carry two bicycles and hopefully be able to swing
(somehow) out of the way so that the rear hatch ('85-full hatch) can be
opened without removing the bikes and will NOT block the brake lights in
any way.  Are we looking for the impossible?  I always see people on the
list refering to Thule and Paulchen racks.  I would really appreciate
opinions and approximate prices of these and which models to use.
Also, does anyone know anything about the "automatic shifting" 5 speed
bikes-they shift by weighted derailures.  We would be doing mostly level
riding on paved roads, no off road stuff.

TIA
