Nice. Good thinking. Worked great for me. I have 3 bikes so I am able to put a hitch on each bike. Thanks

Would be nice to see this in context of a whole bike, or at least a larger region of a bike. A complete picture of bike parts in their proper places just doesn't pop into my brain. :-)

It is understandable and a very cool Idea for the pet or baby carriers rich people throw to the curb that forget to take off the original hitch off of their bike that came with it!!! This is particular for a rear axle being a skewer (quick release) type axle. What don't you understand maybe I can help?
