I like your idea!! ^^

I've been frustrated that Subaru doesn't allow installation of a hitch, even just for use with bike racks, and their "too much weight" argument is silly. As a mechanical engineer, I know that this use will result in absolutely no harm to the vehicle!

The other option would be to mount the bikes up top but I'm afraid I will slam them into the top of my garage. Saw the result of that a lot when working as a bicycle mechanic through college. It only takes one second of inattention.
