Damn guys. Y'all make me want to buy a bike. How do you mount your bikes to your Yaris, IF you don't have a roof rack, much less want to use one?

I use a Hidden Hitch and a Yakima Double Down 2 bike rack, though I would recommend the comparable Thule rack instead (I had to cut off some of the Yakima rack's tongue to make it fit the hitch because Yakima doesn't support Class 1 hitches.).

Do you think this rack would fit/work?

I haven't yet carried my bike on the Yaris as I usually just ride the thing (I commute by bike every day, better mileage than even the Yaris! :-) ), though I test my cheap trunk mounted rack on the back and it looked like it'd work just fine, though I wouldn't trust that rack with any of my heavier bikes (like the one shown), just my fixed gear which weighs < 20 lbs.
