I use the Seasucker and I can't see it mounting on the engine cover as the suction cups take up a good bit of real estate.

The reason I ask: my wife and I are both cyclists, and I was thinking of getting 2 of those suction-cup style racks and mounting road/cross bikes on the rear of the car, over the engine compartment. That way, when we do a road trip, we don't have to leave the bikes at home, or ship them.

The spoiler deployment may screw this up however. I have yet to measure it, but it seems that the spoiler would activate up somewhere in the vicinity of the downtube, just ahead of the BB shell.

Any other ideas for transporting bikes in a cab? I could get one into the backseat (in a bike bag, with handlebars loosened, pedals off, wheels in a separate bag), but 2? Doubtful. Maybe with the top down, but if it rains, we are screwed.

It sucks to take my pickup when we are headed somewhere to ride. Usually the best riding areas make for the best cycling areas. A few years ago, we vacationed on the Central CA coast for a week to train, and it would have killed me if we had to bring the pickup instead of the M3. No more M3, so the cab has got to work!
