Using it for a bike rack is a great idea!

Thanks, Brian, for the info. After serious consideration of the Hitch Hooks option, I finally decided go with the Curt front receiver hitch for the Ford Expedition as I should be able to mount a bike rack to it without having to do any modifications. $162 from eTrailer with free shipping. Plan to install it myself--may have to cut a notch out of the lower fascia, which has me a little anxious. Otherwise, the installation looks to be pretty simple--just four bolts. We'll see...
