Default Do any bike racks fit our cars?

I used to be an avid mountain biker, and want to get back into it. I went riding with my dad today and realized that a mountain bike wont fit in the car. It got me to wondering if a bike rack existed that would fit the Crossfire. If anybody knows of one, please let me know.

Hey fellow bike rider - my daughter and I used to ride a lot, just tie 'em down on top of my Ford Explorer.(the Explorer is parked - blown head gasket) But since I bought my Crossfire I've had to rely on my ex-wife's Mazda Tribute. If you use the search - type in "bike rack" you might find some useful information... happy riding

A Ford Explorer was the first thing that came to my mind lol. I used to use a bike rack on a different car and was always so nervous about the bike falling off even though i strapped it on good. However with my explorer which you can find an old one for $1000, it fits in there pretty good.

I believe the 'Saris Bones' series work well on the XFs, but you should confirm with a search.

IIRC it will even allow the spoiler to deploy and not interfere based on its design...

Here is a link to a hitch:

Trailer Hitch

This should be very easy to use with bike racks.

I have the Saris Bones on my roadster and it works great.

I believe the same roof rack system that works on an Audi TT will work on the Crossfire. Do a search within the Crossfire forum - you'll find the info.
