Bike racks and bike carriers

[Taylor]

For those of you who have used bicycle racks on top of your car or racks on the back, what type do you like the most? We're considering getting bikes this spring and want to carry them. I'm short and wondering how difficult it is to use those carriers where the bike sits on top of your car.

I like the ones that are on top. I had a hard time seeing out my rear window when we had the bikes on the back. I am five foot ten though so getting the bikes on top wasn't a problem.
