Many car manufacturers would have you believe that if you’re into outdoor pursuits, you need to get a crossover. Whenever a new crossover/SUV is launched, there’s always a ‘lifestyled’ version with various lifestyle things like surfboards, bikes and canoes attached to hammer the point home.

But what if you’re a keen biker, and don’t want a crossover? What if, say, you want a Mustang? Well, it turns out Ford has you covered.

A patent from Ford Global Technologies has emerged, depicting an integrated bike rack for the coupe. The system is based around rails which slide out through the rear bumper and are fixed into place, giving a stable platform for a pair of bikes.
