has anybody done this? if so, what racks would work? i am an avid rider

 

I just take my front wheel off and slide the bike in the rear hatch with the seat down.

 

There's also a lot of bike racks here:

but those seem to be trunk-types.

Are you looking for a roof rack in particular?

 

roof rack, trunk type, trailer hitch, anything. i also ride beach cruisers and bmx bikes often so i need to fit up to 3 bikes. so sliding it in the car wont work for all 3. i saw that site before but they have trailer hitch locks and trunk type. can a trailer hitch be put on a fit? i've heard mixed stories of the trunk one not working due to the strange shape of it.

If you find a good metal shop, they can weld a bar for you and then install the trunk bike rack with no problem. I do not think it should cost too much, look into it.

If I were in your position, I would just get a trunk type because I dont know if I want to mess with the roof of the car.

 

look into Yakima...i have one of there racks, and it works wonders. I'm sure they have clips for Fits, or are gonna have them soon enough

There is an online hitch company I just found that is selling a hitch with a tongue weight of 150 lb (that has to include the rack, so not more than a couple of bikes), made already fitting holes under the HOnda fit. They show a diagram, say the hitch is on sale for $75, and that you remove an existing shield of some typ e (I can't remember the details), and install in 15 minutes (ha ha -- presumably an efficient mechanic who has the car elevated might be able to work this efficiently..). Could pull a tiny trailer too. I think this in "hitchonline ". BUt if you google honda fit hitch, I think that is how I found it. Haven't bought my HOnda yet.

I've seen someone use the trunk type on the new VW Rabbit. Maybe they work on the Fit?

I've seen these on a couple of Fits at a bike road race/time trial.
They looked nice,and had great fitment too.

I'm planning on getting the Yakima set up for mine eventually.
