Hitch Rack Bicycle
Bike rack for a 2002 CRV, help?

I have a 2002 CRV and need a way to carry my bicycle on an upcoming cross-country trip. I need to be able to access the trunk space so I don't think I can go with a hitch rack. I have a spare tire, however I can't say I have the utmost confidence in one of those systems keeping my darling bike safe at freeway speeds. I've been interested in using a roof rack, however, I'm not so sure how well that system will work for me in the long term. I'm only 5'6", so I couldn't see getting a bike on the roof being very easy even during the best of times (not to mention when I'm exhausted after a long ride.) Another concern of mine is trying to keep my bike out of the hands of a stranger who may want to "borrow" it when I'm not looking. I thought about the roof rack for this reason; it may not be a robber-proof system but at least it'll make it harder for someone to get the bike down, and thus hopefully make my bike a less attractive target. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thule makes a rack for the spare tire, its called the "spare me." You will have to lock the bike to the rack though. The previous answer suggested in the car itself, however its going to take up cargo space.

About Allen Bike Racks In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his familys bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities. Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to tran
