Hello! I'm new here, and looking to put a 2" receiver on my 3 hatch

[BiikeMike]

Hello everyone, I've done searches and couldn't find any information on this topic.

I am an avid bicycle rider, just bought a 2013 Mazda 3 Grand Touring 5 door, and all the good racks that can take more than 2 bikes require a 2" receiver. I am NOT looking to tow anything, I just want a 2" receiver to put a bike rack on. I did come across a picture on here where someone welded their own 2" receiver next to the 1.25", but I'm looking for a bolt on part I don't have to modify. I know that major manufactures don't make them for liability reasons, does anyone know where I might find one?

Thanks,

--Mike

I recommend calling in to a local shop. Here in houston we have a place called Master Hitch for example. There are a lot of stores that specialize in grills/toolboxes/hitches. Let us know what you find out!

How about a simpler route such as a roof rack...?
