Does anyone here carry a bicycle on their xb?  I'm curious what the best way to do it is.

Not really keen on a roof rack.  I was thinking more along one of those things that attaches to the lift gate with straps.  I don't know what they're called.

I need to be able to carry two bikes.

Thanks!

i used a universal strap thing bike holder on my xb2 and it worked fine.

drove on the freeway and everything.

Thanks for the info.  I ordered what I needed to order.   

I got the hitch installed today.  Fit like a glove.  The 1.25" receiver does slightly touch the bottom of the bumper - I'll probably wrap some electrical tape around it so it doesn't mar.  It's tucked up pretty well so I don'
t think it will look ghetto.

For anyone who later searchs for this topic - FYI, you need an 18mm socket to remove two bolts.  You need a 19mm (or 3/4", but 19mm is better) socket to bolt the 6 hitch bolts down.  One of the bolts is hard to get to because the muffler is in the way - I used a wrench to get to that one.

They advise to torque down to 65 ft lbs.  Since you're bolting to the frame, I'd advise borrowing or buying a torque wrench ($60) so you don't mangle the threads. 

Also, I used blue loctite although the instructions do not call for it.
