Default Bicycle Rack for Coupe

Goofy as it may seem, I'm trying to find a bicycle rack that will fit on a Crossfire Coupe. I only have one car when I'm in San Diego, and I love to ride my bike on the beach. Has anyone ever found a bike rack that will fit on a coupe? Old dogs have to get exercise some how, and riding up and down the beach is great exercise for my eyes. You can figure that one out................................
Thanks,

I don't think that has been solved, but a pair of roller blades fit in the trunk and will help with the eyesight exercise, plus the occasional loss of control will result in pleasant physical contact.

When I first joined, someone had a converted rack that fit on his XF. I cannot remember the post name but I joined in mid 2009. I am about 98% sure it was a bicycle rack they had.

I have a Saris Bones 2 Bike rack on my XFire. It's worked well for me.

Do you have to take out the fuse for the spoiler so it doesn't try to rise with the bike rack on?

I suppose you could, but there is clearance enough for the spoiler to come up without hitting the rack. It's a good setup, really.

This is my exact bike rack:

Here is link to the exact bike rack I purchased. Use velcro ties to keep your pedal from spinning and your front tire from rocking, and you will be good to go.
