So while at work today a guy pulled up with a white NSX with a bike rack on the back. All I could think about is WHY?! I would never put a bike rack on a little sports car. So I was wondering has anyone ever seen a bike rack on a Fiero? Funny thing about it is my buddy I work with told the guy "nice car". The guy responded with "watch my back". my buddy said "what about the car?", the guy said "they can take the car all I care abouts the bike".............. WHY???

Those bicycles are expensive. I can't tell the exact model, but I think it's somewhere in the $5-10 K range. Plus, the bike is more rare than the car that's carrying it.
I could be wrong[probable], but I think I read somewhere that Specialized builds carbon fiber bikes[light/extermely expensive]. Although it's probably not as expensive as the car, it's probably more difficult to repair or replace

While I haven't put it on the Fiero yet, I admit I bought a hitch for the car and a bike rack for it. I just wanted to combine my summer activities. Why have to take the winter car to go bike riding in the summer when I can put a rack on the Fiero and take the summer car to do summer activities?

Nice bike. Not just carbon fiber, but high end carbon fiber it looks to me. Wouldn't mind having the bike. The rack he can keep though, I like mine better.

Yep several Fiero's with bike racks. Nigel's 86GT had a special bike rack and he loved it, drove his Fiero up to the Sea Wall in Stanly Park (Vancouver British Columbia) and would bike the entire Sea Wall. Its about a 30 min drive from here. If you have a Fiero and other interests, you can find good uses for Trailer Hitches. I tow a trailer behind my 88GT and my hitch also doubles as a bike rack receiver if I want to put bikes on the car.
To be honest I'd rather drive a sports car out to the park to go riding, then drive a minivan.

To me that is like finding a very beautiful girl then putting an ugly tattoo across her breasts. If you can afford a car and bike like that, you can afford a a more suitable vehicle to pull it with. It happens every day.

I can't afford a car like that, nor a bike like that... that's why I put my 15 year old Giant mountain bike on a bike rack on my 88GT.
Not just carbon fiber, but high end carbon fiber it looks to me.
