   i am trying to get useful information on how to travel with my mt bike. my TV is a highlander and the bike will not fit. i dont like having it in back of my 2016 180 for obvious and already stated reasons. i am too short to easily place a bike on top of my car or even on one of those high frames that go over the propane tank on the tongue. so far i put it in and out of the kitchen area but its awkward and inconvenient. am i missing an oblivious solution? i have searched for info on this topic and found nothing useful
shoes.

	Mount a 2" receiver on the front bumper. Then a bike rack would fit and be in view (as the bike disappears ..........) My son has one on the front of his PU. Would also be handy for close quarter low speed maneuvering of the rPod or a boat trailer.

	We travel with a pair of road bikes, Specialized Allez which are quite light at 18 lbs./each. They are put inside our 177 and layed on their side on top of the bed or table area. I do not travel with them outside as they pick up a lot of bug juice as well as road dirt/sand/grime on the chain and derailleurs. Don't like the thought of having to clean my bike/chain/derailleurs while on vacation

	I have a Highlander as well and I agree putting stuff up on top is a bit of a stretch. Still, that's probably the best place for bikes You could try standing on a folding step stool to help with the lift. That might give you enough leverage.
