Bike snob? LOL Where are the sew-ups then?
It's amazing that these brands are so big now. Great bikes, too.
Have fun riding!

I am assuming ours is factory installed and we bought it new and it already came with.

While we were still looking we saw several units that had a factory installed rack on the back bumper.
Three of the salesmen made a point of showing us how it worked and said what we could carry for weight back there.

I was referring to aftermarket installed bicycle mounts on the rear bumper. The issue is that most hybrids are also ultralites, in which the bumper will not hold up to any added weight. If the model comes with a mount from the factory and it is not just installed by the dealer as an aftermarket add on, you should be fine.
