Default HCH2 with a trailer hitch and bike rack

There's a pretty good car accessory place here in Saginasty called ProStyle. Their prices are fairly good and their service is excellent. I purchased a Hidden Hitch for a 2k6 Civic (part number 60822 if anyone cares). It's a no-drill install so it should be easy to DIY if you have the equipment to get the car off the ground safely. I don't have any jackstands or even a decent hydraulic jack so I let these guys take care of it.

The bike rack is a Thule 917 T2. It grabs the rear wheel with a ratcheting strap and the front tire/fork with a swingarm instead of a pair of arms locking onto the top tube like most other racks in the marketplace. Expensive but super easy to load and unload.

The bike is a Giant Sedona DX. It's a hybrid which means I've added a hybrid to a hybrid. Or maybe I've doubled the "hybridness" of the car. Yeah, that's it I'm going to ride that for a few weeks until I get at least partially back into shape. Then I pull out the Giant OCR C3 carbon fiber road bike

Not so hidden, is it?
