Just bought a Norco XFR3 - I guess it's a hybrid or whatever they call it. I've been out of the biking game for a while so I'm not very knowledgeable. Intended use is bikepaths and some roads for leisure biking and commute to work.



Front Shocks With Lock to stabilize front end.
24spd shimano drive train
Cabled disk breaks
700c street wheels (continental tires)
20” frame
Weighs about 32lbs

I also bought this Swagman ST-1 bike rack. Unfortunately my Civic doesn't have a hitch on it so I had to compromise with a trunk mount. I was a bit nervous driving around with it yesterday, not gonna lie.





Does anyone know what the cost would be to get a hitch installed on my Civic? Would consider upgrading to hitch bike rack if the cost is reasonable.
