Bike Rack

I have a Roadmaster Sterling tow bar to pull my toad. Has anyone found a bike rack that can be mounted to the tow bar?

In the early 90s, we had two bikes on one of those tow-bar-oriented carriers. Both were encased in a cover. Carrier and cover had been the ones Camping World carried and perhaps still carries. The carrier made it from West Coast to East Coast, but not back west over a bumpy, narrow, metal bridge on I-10 around New Orleans. The weld and some of the bolts broke, dropping the bikes down toward the pavement. The case kept them from breaking loose altogether, dragging only one bike on the road in front of the Acura before some kind soul waved us over after the bridge. Because of the bag and the kind soul, there was no damage to the car and only the front wheel of my bike was ruined.
Our solution? A Honda Pilot and two folding bikes that fit in the back of the SUV: One Dahon and one Giant Half-Way. Otherwise, get a bike bag too.

We take the front wheels off our bikes and put them in the back of our CRV.

George, I'm going one up you, kinda like the two old guys having fun one upping each other on all their operations, etc. Right now I have a road bike, a mountain bike, and a cross/hybrid bike in the back of my Honda Odyssey mini van, along with helmets, shoes, tools, pump, spare parts, etc. I call it my garage. I have even hauled those three along with my 8 ft. long tandem. The bikes are worth almost as much as the van, so I don't want them out there in the weather and available to the thieves. Mini vans are great for hauling anything of value, but as a friend of mine told me, you have to be secure enough in your manhood to drive one.
