The Cruze can tow up to 1,000 lbs with a 200 lb ball weight. The Eco and the Diesel trim levels have different transmissions and the book for those models recommends no towing at all. There are a few people here who chose to ignore those suggestions and have had success towing with no issues.
Just know towing is hard on a vehicle and shortens the life of your drive components. A bike rack is not towing and you should have absolutely no problem at all with a couple bicycles.
I purchased the draw tite tow bar and the curt trailer wiring harness for my 1LT. It tows an open 5x8 trailer with my motorcycle no problem. The first two pictures are of the hitch and the third picture shows my second battery, capacitor, amp, subs and if you look closely, the wire hanging from the grocery hook is my trailer light harness.
