Is a hitch rack an option for you?

SportRack, Kuat, Thule, and Yakima all offer bike racks that attach to a rear hitch mount. I’m closely tied to the bicycling community through my relations with our sister sites RoadBikeReview.com and mtbr.com. Outbacks are very popular throughout the cycling community and nobody has ever had an issue with carrying their bikes.

the roof rack is very poor apparently. It will not work with Thule or Yakima. For a vehicle where it would be normal to put a couple of bikes on top and a carrier box it just does not work.
For now anyone wanting a vehicle capable of carrying stuff on teh roof should probably look at another vehicle. I have contacted Subaru and am trying to get them to work with me on a solution.

I love my Outback! Only negative comment is with the roof-line spoiler which interferes with the ski box when opening the hatch. Subaru designers could have prevented this problem by extending the roof rack forward.
