rfruth Report post Posted July 24, 2009 Anyone transported an adult bicycle on the floorboard / backseat (with old bedsheet (helps keep the car clean) & front wheel removed - is the FFH wide enough ? (if one bike ok can do two ((sans pedals)) but hatchback is same (no pedals) so its 6 of 1 half dozen of the other) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frame mounted trailer hitches are easy to find for any Fusion. From there you need a hitch mounted bicycle rack and "Bob's your uncle!" http://www.yakima.com/racks/bike/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfruth Report post Posted July 24, 2009 I have a Bob coz trailer so bob is my uncle :) - anyway a hitch mounted carrier would be ideal but wonder how Ford would feel about adding a trailer hitch to a hybrid, might it void my warranty ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamooche Report post Posted August 4, 2009 I added Thule bars and rack to my Fusion. The Aero bars and the silver colored fork mount look best. I have since also added the fairlead which has eliminated all the whisling excess noise. I drove 5 hours home this weekend with 1 bike on the roof and averaged just under 37 MPG. Not bad.

rfruth Report post Posted August 5, 2009 Nice ride(s) - they look good together ! But I don't trust a roof rack (okay its not the roof rack I don't trust ...) :rant: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
