Do you imagine a bike carrier will work outside of the spare tire?
I’m about to move the spare in the LR4 from underneath to the back and not clear if my bike carrier with a 500XCW on it is still going to work.

I carry a Cannondale Habit mountain bike on a Thule spare tire mounted carrier. I haven't had any issues, but I do recommend running a bungee cord to keep the bottom of the bike tucked in against the spare.
This is on a TR rear bumper and tire carrier.

That's a Discovery... isn't it? LOL, who knows anymore, they all look alike. At least you can pick this new Defender in a lineup.

I've got to use a tray carrier for my mountain bike because it has a carbon frame. I've never tried to carry it using a vehicle with a rear-mounted spare, but I imagine it would require spacing it back quite a bit, then careful placement of the handlebars and pedals.
I'd guess carrying a motorbike with a rear mounted spare would probably introduce a whole bevy of problems.
