I just did it too.

$172.90 for hitch and bike rack. Cant beat that. I have to wait until the middle of May, though.

Oh well, something to look forward to.

Have you tried the bike rake with 4 bikes? I already own that rack and could probably get rid of my van if I could carry 4 bikes (2 adult and 2 kid) plus the family in the fit.

Hidden Hitch images

Hi, I believe someone asked to see images of Hidden Hitch with Bikes.
To answer some of your questions, yes, I got my Hidden Hitch from etrailer last year. I just came back from a biking trip in Whister (home of Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010) and was on the highway for approximately 150km with no problem. This is definitely one of the best investments on the Fit.
Here they are! Enjoy!

VERY nice pics. Your post should answer most of the questions/doubts from the other Fit owners wanting to safely haul bikes.
