How I Built My Own Four-Wheel Bicycle
$13.19 This attention-getting two-seater was engineered to be built from ONE bicycle, some PVC pipe, and a few miscellaneous parts using typical hand tools many people already have. Use this detailed account of my successes and failures to help you design your own bike. You can spend thousands on a four-wheel commercial bike or you can have the fun of building your own. Sure, you can find plans on the Internet, but the ones I found often required two identical bikes and expensive customized parts from a machine shop (and they still cost more than this book). I will show you how I made mine from a single bicycle I picked up at a yard sale for $10. You'll find many design and construction hints and suggestions along with 38 full-color pictures to guide you. If you are even thinking about attempting such a project, this book is for you. |

Wacky-Backy
$13.99 Tim's bar was always full as the hole could be seen if you stood on the seat near the window. The old stuffed fox was put out in the lounge where it would not be in the way. Tim had changed the seat to stands and put a big long board on the window where people could put their pints down as they stretched their necks to see the unseen. It took a while, but in the end it happened, who started it I don't know, but there had to be one and then all joined in, yes empting the wheelie bins and not have to buy tickets, more money for beer. This hole of all holes was the place for the street and let me tell you people from other streets came to get rid of their rubbish. one day someone dropped a fridge to try and hear it land, but not a sound was heard, that was just the start, then it was old cars, a van and broken furniture, the Garda, i.e., the police were throwing flares, yet their lights disappeared after a couple yards into the hole. and other stories. |

You can buy aftermarket hitches for your 2005 Pilot.. They cost under $200 at places like Auto-Zone, and with installation it will cost you $250 or so.
After you got the hitch installed, you can get a 4-bike hitch rack from Yakima or Thule for it.
I have a car with a tow hitch for the past 3 years. I wonder how I ever got along without one.
Good luck!
References :
There are some racks that you can use in the back without a hitch adapter. But I doubt they will take 4 bikes.
You would need to consider having a hitch receiver installed, else it won't be able to hold them safely.

Best bet would be to get a hitch installed as someone else mentioned. If you're planning on keeping the vehicle for awhile and enjoy biking, it'll be a worthy investment. Just make sure it is rated to hold that much weight (120 pounds or so of bikes + the rack). Might be able to use ebay or craigs list to find a well priced rack with local pickup.
Cheaper, but less secure option, would be to squeeze 1-2 in the back, then use a trunk rack to add 2-3 more.
