I would love to but I just killed my camera, which is kind of funny because I too a hard spill on my bike with the camera in my backpack. If you really want a picture I can take one with my phone. PM a phone number.

Check out this thread for a picture of a Thule roof rack system.

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ight=bike+rack

I think roof racks really clutter up the appearance of the car. YeeFit already talked about this, but: Extra wind noise, tallness of the Fit, and lowered mpg may be an issue. But seeing a rack on a brand new car is cool because you know the people driving are really into riding bikes!

Heres a thread at MTBR that talks about the Honda Fit and bike carrying options.

Honda Fit- the ultimate compact bike hauler?? - Mtbr.com Forums

I usually carry around one bike inside the car using a fork mount:

I did get a chance to carry 2 people and 2 bikes, pancake style for a recent ride. Dont have pics though. It was easy to get the bikes in and out. However, driving around over bumpy roads, I could hear bike vs bike rubbing. Next time i would cover the first bike with a towel and then load the second one. There was definitely room for more bikes to be stacked on top, but don't put your 16lb carbon roadie on the bottom of the pile .
