Roberta. A lot of good points here. I’ll just add that, if you load your bike on a car rack, ensure your fenders won’t prevent that, or won’t get damaged in the process.
We have a 1up rack. It is the most awesome rack. However, the little padded foam rollers they offer to protect your fenders do not seem to offer a good hold on the bike unless you put more pressure on the fenders than I like. We have removed our fenders since we do not commute nor do we choose to ride in the rain...and I personally am fine with the look of my bikes sans fenders. So, problem solved for us. There are some racks that ha e large hooks that hold the bike down by the top tube. I used to have a Thule like that; it would hold two bikes and not touch the fenders. It that rack weighed a lot more than the 1up, and took a lot longer to load and unload. My wife can easily install the 1up. and load unload bikes. Not so with any other 2-bike hitch mount rack.
