I'm looking for a rear mounted hitch for my 2003 Odyssey. Its use will be
for a bicycle rack only. Any recommendations?

I had a "Hidden Hitch" installed last month on my 99 Accord EX and am using
it with a Yakima rack. I had a RV center do the hitch installation. While
investigating bike racks I found I liked the Yakima products more than the
Thule. I only looked at Thule and Yakima racks. To me Yakima hitch racks
have a better design. I really liked the way the bike stabilizers work on
the Yakima hitch racks. BTW I just finished a 2500 mile car trip with a
Yakima ROC 4 hitch rack carrying 2 mountain bikes. Everything worked a
designed.

Cheers,
Rick

I'll vouch for the hitch rack as well. I have had a "Hidden Hitch" on my 98
civic and my 02 civic si and love it. I've only used it with a bike rack,
never towed anything. My rack reccomendation is the Hollywood Team Rider.
It functions like a roof rack but plugs into the hitch. Full trays and
secure mounting just to the wheels and seat post, it can accomodate any bike
frame even full suspension MTB (only have experience with adult sized frames
though).
