It is a lot personal preference, but here are my reasons. 1) Roof rack is expensive (compared to just sticking bike in the back). 2) A roof rack hurts gas mileage. Rear rack is a hassle (Fit has no hitch). 3) Better protection - don't have to worry about driving under something or having a foreign object mess up your bike. 4) Aesthetics - looks pretty cool with bikes on it, but without the bikes... I might break down and get a roof rack at some point should I decided to take a several hour trip with the family and want to take a couple of bikes. However, until I have to I'll save the cash. I'll burn a lot of gas in my Suburban before I'll spend as much as I would on a rack system! Good question, Lynn. It is a lot personal preference, but here are my reasons.

They are super cute.....Honda owner myself (Odyssey though, I have to have seating for five little monkeys)...just curious though as to why not use a rack on the outside for the bike, rather than in?? I've seen people at Donaldson with bikes all apart and just wondering if it's just a personal preference -- i.e. in the car rather than on the car? I love the Fit!
