Getting the bike on a bike rack and to a trail and riding somehow has been a very long project. It seems like such a simple thing to do, but there were complications. In 2009 I bought a Honda Fit after I saw a photograph of a bike in the car with the back seats up. It must have been a child's bike, because an adult bike won't fit that way.
I bought three bikes before I was really happy with my ride, which is the most recent bike I bought, a Public C7.
I found out that a standard bike rack does not fit on the back of a Honda Fit because of the stupid little spoiler on the back above the hatch. I had a trailer hitch installed that would accept a bike rack. Then I had a bike rack installed and found out because I have a girl's bike that it won't fit on a bike rack and I had to get a tube tension bar so I could get the bike on the rack.
So although to many people these would be small obstacles, they seemed huge to me, and I am glad that today I could finally get the bike on the bike rack and ride.
Onward to discover new trails!
