Default Bicycle Carrying Options?

Anyone carry a Bicycle on your magnum? I have the stock rack on mine, and had been using a cheap bike rack I got from overstock.com, but it's worn out and I need to replace it. Seems a bit more difficult since I already have the stock rack. I'd prefer a hitch carrier I think, but I don't have a hitch on my car. Anyone added one after purchasing? How much did you spend?

Thanks
-Dave

I added Mopar factory hitch for about $200 plus labor to install (+/-$50). It stays completely hidden behind the bumper until you use it. I use the hitch mount bike rack and it works fine.

That's what I am going to do on mine as I already havea hitch rack for use on my Ram.

What size receiver does the stock hitch have? If it's hidden behind the bumper (or is it below the bumper) how do you plug in the bike carrier? I already have a bike carrier for 2" receivers from my old truck, but I thought the oem hitch was either just a ball, or a 1 1/4" receiver?

Did you get the Dodge bicycle carrier too?
