Well, sort of.
As I mentioned in another thread, I recently installed a 2” receiver on my Clarity, mostly to give me an option of carrying my bike along on trips when there wouldn’t be room inside.
I was kinda taken aback at the prices on some of the better racks out there - from Thule and Yakima, for instance. Given that I already owned an aluminum hitch carrier from Harbor Freight (less than $100 when combined with a coupon)...
...viola!
The $20 represents the $12 fork clamp and about $6 for the aluminum angle stock to make up the channel for the rear tire. I may invest another $20 in a holder for the front wheel. Plus, room for another bike, or gear, as needed.
Anyway, just a thought for those on a budget.
