  • I've got my own ideas on what makes a good reasonable trade off of risk and effort. I'll probably post my own longwinded answer at some point, but obviously will let people who have more hands on experience with this stuff answer before me. Commented Sep 6, 2018 at 12:55

  • Worth noting that the rack can be removed from the car entirely, but it + 2 bikes is around 150 to 200 lbs. A couple fit men could carry this off if they wanted to, and they might. Umm, it's not too hard to find one fit man who can carry that much weight a decent distance rather quickly, and do it rather easily. Commented Sep 6, 2018 at 15:20
  • How about "uglify" your bike?

    As you can get a pickup within 2ft of the car, its no more than 12 feet to carry the whole kaboodle and drop it into the tray. Needs two men to be efficient one to lift, one to drive. The whole 'episode' could be over in less than 10 seconds.
