That's awesome that you can get a hitch for a bike rack on the 06 HCH without having to go custom.

I put a hitch for a bike rack on my 04-- I had to have in custom installed because I could not find a hitch that was officially endorsed by Honda (or that listed the HCH as a car the hitch would mount onto) for the HCH1.

The custom installation cost about $300, and the rack about $150. There has been no noticable change in MPG when driving around with just the hitch on it. The bikes did cause some drag, but we still got over 40, I think, mpg on our long trip with the bikes (it was last year, I'd have to look in my notes). It's not the best I've done, but it sure kicked *** compared to my in-law's Suburban! (we were caravaning)

I could take pictures if anyone is interested.

On another note, I have also fit my bicycle (small women's Trek road bike) inside the car, behind the front seats. I took off the front wheel, of course, but once that was off it fit fine.
