When I saw the size of the rack I wasn't sure it would hold two large bikes, but they remained intact without slipping while I was driving. At first the bottom strap kept coming off from underneath the bumper until I realized that I needed to adjust all of the straps(this is all new to me). Apparently the weight of the bikes was causing slack in the lower strap and I was worried that if I tightened it too much the bike rack would scratch the paint on my car.

Bought as a gift so haven't tried it. Product seems well made & sturdy. Wonder about the single tie strap to bottom of car. Will it be stable? Think so, but we'll see.

This rack is easy to assemble and does the job. For the money it is the cheapest around and is light weight and portable. Easy to assemble and use. I mounted my bike on it the other day and it worked great, didnt move around.

It's really light and easy to put on my car, it's small enough that it fits in my trunk when I'm not using it, and it works. And it was much cheaper than other models.

This carrier is sturdier than it seems at first. The key is to install it correctly. The directions are almost adequate, so, with a bit of insight and holoistic thinking, it can be done rather quickly (in my case, to a 1993 Honda Accord EX). One design correction I'd recommend is a way to secure the extra lengths of strapping once the carrier is secured to the car. There's a lot of it. Beyond that, I strapped an ordinary 21-speed bike to it and drove, @ 70 MPH, for ca. 60 miles to the repair shop. Not a problem. Unstrapping the bike was easy and then removing the carrier from the car, folding it, and putting it into my trunk was also easy. I plan to use it for a 1,500 mile trip, so, if it stands up as well for that long, it's aces--we'll see.

We have used the carrier once, and it was just fine. We are surprised at the sturdiness as well as how lightweight it is for handling. We expect to be using it often, and store it in the trunk of our Camry. I would say it is exceptional for the price and just what we need to carry our bikes to the trail we ride on.

My son bought me this to carry my handicapped daughter's walker. I have a 93 Mustang and getting the walker in and out of the back seat was an ordeal and very frustrating. I practically had to stand on my head and would end up with a tug of war to get it in and out. This solved my problem, was reasonably priced and easy to installl.

This is the first bike rack that I have ever purchased. After about one month's use, I found this product meeting most of my expectations. The construction is solid; there is no need for assembly, and you can take it right off the box and start to use it. It is fairly easy to put on and off the trunk. The only complain I have is that the bike strap holders slide easily on the rode. I may need to put on some duck tap to keep them in place. Otherwise, I found this a very good product of great value.

For the price this unit is a very good product. It could use two side straps when hauling two bikes. We had no problems other than making a few minor adjustments along the way from time to time. You could not ask for a better product for the price. I have looked at other racks that cost more and they were not much better, other than the price tag. Allen really did some thinking on this one. I would recommend this unit to anyone who likes to take the bikes on trips, or just to the bike trails ect.

This carrier is really only equipped for 1 bike. The weight restrictions are unrealistic. The average bike weighs 35lbs minimum but the restrictions of this carrier are 50 lbs - then if you add the adaptor for womens bikes, which weighs 3lbs by itself, you have a sagging bike rack that you are constanyly checking because the bikes wiggle all over the place....and yes, it was installed properly. I am VERY dissappointed.

At about $40 it was a great value and yet really performed. We took it on the interstate with no problem. It goes on/off quickly and we are able to use it on multiple cars, SUVs, and a mini-van.

We had a few moments when attaching to the car so we could get the bikes home but we managed. Didn't like the hook for the bottom (on the trunk lid). We rigged our own attachment using their hook and it seems to work better. Not a nervous about it popping off. Bikes ride well on it.

After visiting several sporting goods stores, bike shops and surfing the internet I found the price for this on Wal-Marts's website very reasonable. Another site specializing in biking equipment listed this same rack for $116.00. Attatching it to the car was very easy. I did have difficulty trying to figure out how to put my bike on it but after going to the bike shop where I purchased my bike they told me I needed an adaptor bar for my bike (I have a girl's bike) so that it could be placed on the rake. This is why I rated the "meets expectations" as average as there was nothing in the directions about needing the additional bar for a girl's bike.
