The rear "bumper" is for the most part a complete misnomer. At best it is a holder for the stinky slinky and not much more. Do NOT consider adding a bolt on receiver hitch to this flimsy excuse for a bumper. The steel is too thin. The weight of bicycles or any cargo will (not might) tear the metal of the bumper from the welds that hold it ot the frame.
Go to a good welding fab shop and have a receiver hitch installed to the trailer frame. Then add your cargo with confidence using a rated receiver cargo rck rack or bike rack.
