		<description><![CDATA[Swagman Bike Racks is one of the top-notch companies for bike racks. It makes sturdy and long-lasting bike racks. The Swagman 64600 Sleev 3 Bike Fold Down Hitch Rack is a handy, versatile and reliable rack that is perfect for families.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It very difficult to find the perfect rack without having to compromise on one feature or the other &#8211; chances are you’ll take a while to find it. Sometimes, though, you come across a rack that has everything you could possibly need. For example, the Swagman 64600 2” Sleev 3 Bike Fold Down Hitch Rack.</p>
<p>Swagman is known to come up with innovative racks to satisfy a varied clientele. This particular rack is no different. It has the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 3 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A design made to fit 2 inch receivers.</li>
<li>It fits over Class 3 draw bars.</li>
<li>Requires no assembly.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/swagman-64600-2-sleev-3-bike-fold-down-hitch-rack-for-car1.jpg"><img src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/swagman-64600-2-sleev-3-bike-fold-down-hitch-rack-for-car1.jpg" alt="Swagman 64600 2 Inch Sleev 3 Bike Fold Down Hitch Rack" title="Swagman 64600 2 Inch Sleev 3 Bike Fold Down Hitch Rack" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-330" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-305"></span></p>
<p>The unique feature of this rack is that it can carry up to 3 bikes at a time along with your personal watercraft, boat or trailer. This is a feature you won’t find with many other racks. Also, the rack sleeve slides over the tow bar and does not affect your vehicle’s towing capacity at all. Hence, you need not worry about over-working your tow bar or towing too much of weight. It requires no assembly, so you can lift it straight out of the box without having to put any effort into the actual installation and set up. When you are not using it, the largest part is removable, so that you only have a small attachment on your hitch &#8211; this is very convenient for frequent usage.</p>
<p>The rack does have a few disadvantages in the way of security. While you can count on it to hold up and be secure, you may have to add a little security of your own. This is very simple and applicable to any rack that you feel lacks good security measures &#8211; all you have to do is use some extra straps or bungee cords to hold your bikes firmly in place. What this rack could really do with is an anti-sway device or such, because when you are towing multiple things (bikes, your boat/trailer/watercraft) you don’t really want them colliding or getting scratched. Also, without an anti-sway device bikes and just the hitch itself tend to sway a little. However, the security offered with the rack is enough &#8211; you just need to use the additional measures mentioned above if you’re going for a cross country trip and the like.</p>
<p>The best advantage you get with this bike rack is its adaptability. It is ideal for a family, because you can take it for trips, outings and weekends away. In that way, it allows you to accommodate everything you need &#8211; you can attach your bikes and have your trailer too! This rack is well-built and easy to use so that anyone and everyone can handle without effort. It is sturdy and ideal both in the short trips and long runs.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a bike rack especially for weekend getaways and vacations, this is perfect for you, because it is so adaptable. It is also perfect for you if you live by the beach where you would need to transport a watercraft often along with your bikes. In many ways, this rack is one of the best in the market.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Swagman bike racks makes good quality, durable bike racks. It is known for supplying its customers with high-value products]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people need racks simply for day-to-day use, as opposed to camping, long- distance trips, vacations and so on. Now for such purposes, a heavy- duty, heavily armored bike rack isn’t necessary, though of course it will be appreciated. Such people, however, need a standard bike rack, one that is built simply for use in the city.</p>
<p>The Swagman 4-Bike Standard Rack is exactly that kind of a rack, as the name suggests. While it is built in a simple, basic fashion however, you can rest assured that it is definitely equipped to carry your bikes in a safe and secure manner. The rack has the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 4 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A design made to fit 2 inch receivers.</li>
<li>New swedge design that facilitates quick and easy assembly and disassembly for storage.</li>
<li>Soft Krayton cushions.</li>
<li>Flexible top plate to accommodate different bike sizes.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/swagman-4-bike-standard-rack2-inch-receiver1.jpg"><img src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/swagman-4-bike-standard-rack2-inch-receiver1.jpg" alt="Swagman 4-Bike Standard Rack (2 inch receiver)" title="Swagman 4-Bike Standard Rack (2 inch receiver)" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-327" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-302"></span></p>
<p>As you can see from the features listed above, this rack is made more for convenience than for heavy- duty use. If you feel like you need any additional security, you will need to use extra straps and cords. The rack comes with a new swedge design which allows you to assemble and disassemble the rack in the quickest and easiest way possible. This feature makes it less of a hassle to set up the rack with every use. It is especially useful since the rack doesn’t fold into a compact size easy for storage. The rack also comes with a flexible top plate to accommodate various bike sizes, as well as soft Krayton cushions to protect your bike and provide additional gripping power. This prevents the bikes from getting scratched and damaged when in transit.</p>
<p>Having a capacity of carrying up to 4 bikes, this rack is perfect for a family. It is ideal for transporting children’s bikes, going for little picnics and you can even use it on the highway as long as you add your own protection. Even if you can’t really use it for heavy- duty purposes, this rack is extremely useful and durable at the same time. All its great expediency features allow anyone and everyone to handle and load it without any problems. It has a solid design and construction.</p>
<p>As for the price of the rack, well, you couldn’t have it any better. It is very, very reasonably priced. Four- bike racks are usually more expensive, but in a way the low price makes up for the lack of extra security features. The rack could definitely do with some anti-sway mechanism, may be a locking pin and a security cable. But you can always use your own locks and for using it in the city the rack doesn’t need any top of the line security features as such. In fact, when you think of a ‘standard’ bike rack you don’t really expect it to be hi-tech and overly reinforced.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the rack has everything you could expect of it. It is also sturdy and well- built and comes at a very agreeable price.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you go on a long distance trip, you need an especially strong and sturdy bike rack to transport your bikes. And if you’re taking your RV, you need a rack that will mount your bumper perfectly.</p>
<p>The Swagman 4-bike RV Bumper Rack is a perfect solution to your problems. It is a sturdy, well-built contraption that mounts on to your bumper in the most secure way possible. It will definitely ensure that you have a hassle-free journey, without you having to worry about your bikes’ condition.<br />
The RV bumper rack has the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 4 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A design made to fit on to 4 inch to 4.5 inch continuous welded steel bumpers.</li>
<li>Solid steel construction.</li>
<li>Simple and easy to attach and use.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/swagman-4-bike-rv-bumper-rack.jpg"><img src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/swagman-4-bike-rv-bumper-rack.jpg" alt="Swagman 4-Bike RV Bumper Rack" title="Swagman 4-Bike RV Bumper Rack" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-332" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-299"></span></p>
<p>As you can see, the rack is of a simple, basic construction. This has its pros and cons. On one hand, it isn’t complicated and you can be sure that it will do a good job. But, on the other hand, you can never have too many security measures. This problem, however, can be easily fixed by adding your own bungee cords and straps to hold the bikes securely to the rack. You can also use a locking pin or some other apparatus to ensure that your rack stays in place. However, since the rack mounts on to your bumper, it is much more secure than a hitch-mounted rack would be.</p>
<p>Now this isn’t to say that the rack doesn’t have its positive points. For starters, it’s made from solid, strong steel. This makes it durable, so that it can work well for heavy duty purposes. It is also easy to install and mount, so that you have no problems with handling it. Also, this feature makes it that much less of a hassle to dismantle and set up the rack with each use.</p>
<p>The fact this rack is mostly made for RVs makes it ideal for long distance trips, heavy duty use, family vacations and so on. So if you have an RV, this rack is perfect for you. It also comes at an <em>extremely </em>reasonable price, especially for a four-bike rack. Don’t make the mistake of just buying it because it’s cheap, though. You need to see if it suits your requirements, because what you may need to go for is a heavily reinforced rack.</p>
<p>All in all, this is a good, base-line rack to opt for. It is perfect for those once-a-year family vacations, or picnics and the sporadic holidays.</p>

<ul>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 4 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A design made to fit both, 1.25 inch and 2 inch receivers.</li>
<li>User friendly bike clamps.</li>
<li>Protective rubber extrusions to help protect your bikes.</li>
<li>1.25 inch or 2 inch stinger included.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sportrack–A30604–hitch-n-drive-4-bike-rack1.25and2inch-receivers.jpg"><img src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sportrack–A30604–hitch-n-drive-4-bike-rack1.25and2inch-receivers.jpg" alt="SportRack–A30604–Hitch n Drive 4 Bike Rack (1.25 inch and 2 inch receivers)" title="SportRack A30604 Hitch n Drive 4 Bike Rack (1.25 inch and 2 inch receivers)" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-334" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people simply buy bike racks for use in the city. Maybe day– to- day use for transporting the kids’ bikes, maybe the infrequent visit to a park. Either way, not everyone is looking for a strapping, heavy &#8211; duty bike rack. And this is why, no matter what, most companies produce the standard, most basic bike rack for all types of bikes.</p>
<p>Such racks are high on convenience and ease-of-use. The security feature may not be top of the line, but you can take a quick trip down the highway without worrying that your bikes are going to fall off or worse, that your whole rack is going to fall off. This type of bike rack is the most fundamental type of bike racks and is essential for every bike owner. The Swagman 3-Bike Standard rack is one such rack. Made by Swagman, this rack is a user- friendly and durable one. It has the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 3 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A design made to fit 2 inch receivers.</li>
<li>Soft Kratton cushioning.</li>
<li>Solid steel construction.</li>
<li>Lockable with your pad lock of choice.</li>
<li>New swedge design for quick and easy assembling and disassembling.</li>
<li>Requires little or no assembly.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/swagman-3-bike-standard-hitch-mount-rack2inch-receiver.jpg"><img src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/swagman-3-bike-standard-hitch-mount-rack2inch-receiver.jpg" alt="Swagman 3-Bike Standard Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" title="Swagman 3-Bike Standard Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-339" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-289"></span></p>
<p>As is evident, the rack is extremely user-friendly. In fact, it has almost no extra security features. If you’re going to be using for over a slightly long distance or on the highway, you will need to add your own extra security measures. You can do this by using some straps or bungee cords, maybe even a locking pin and security cable to eliminate swaying. It is also possible to use a pad lock of your choice to lock the rack. The soft Kratton vinyl cushioning protects your bikes’ finish and provides extra grip. The rack also comes with the new swedge design. This feature is very useful, as it makes it easy to dismantle and set the rack up with every use. Unfortunately, the rack does not fold down, or you would have had the added benefit of convenient storage. However, the rack requires little to no assembly, which, when paired with the new swedge design, means that anyone can handle the rack without any effort or hassle at all.</p>
<p>The rack comes at an extremely reasonable price. In fact, it’s worth every penny you spend on it, considering that it is made for regular use. You’ll definitely get your worth. The capacity of the rack to carry 3 bikes at a time make it ideal for a small family, or perhaps for hauling children’s bikes around town. It isn’t made for heavy duty use, so it wouldn’t be wise to test it out on cross country tracks or any rough terrain. However, it should hold steady in any kind of weather.</p>
<p>To conclude, the Swagman 3-Bike standard rack is, as the name suggests, a standard rack made for very basic purposes. It will cater to all your daily needs, but don’t count on it surviving the tough conditions. It is definitely a good pick though, and well worth the money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It isn’t easy finding a rack that’s easy to use and reliable. But with Hollywood Racks F4 Heavy Duty 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack, your job is made easy.</p>
<p>Hollywood Racks has been making good quality bike racks for over 30 years now, selling racks to other dealers and bike companies. They truly know how to give the customer what they need: strong, reliable bike racks that are easy to use. Hollywood Racks are built with materials of the best quality, such as high-strength steel, strong fasteners and thick powder coating. Thus, with this heavy duty, user friendly rack, satisfaction is practically guaranteed. With this rack, they seem to have thought of everything.<br />
Its features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A capacity of carrying up to 4 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A day glow safety flag.</li>
<li>An exclusive dual positioning trunk/bumper system that allows you to get a custom fit on most minivans, sedans or SUVs.</li>
<li>Heavy duty steel tubing and hardware in order to easily handle four bikes.</li>
<li>Integrated tie-down strap for securing your bikes.</li>
<li>Motorcycle tie down buckles and extra side straps for securing heavy loads.</li>
<li>Fully pre-assembled and folds down flat for easy storage.</li>
<li>Included foam pads to prevent scratching.</li>
<li>Extra straps to tie up spinning wheels.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/F4-Heavy-Duty-4-Bike-Trunk-Mount-Rack.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-205" title="F4 Heavy Duty 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/F4-Heavy-Duty-4-Bike-Trunk-Mount-Rack.jpg" alt="F4 Heavy Duty 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-206"></span></p>
<p>If you tend to go biking in a group or if your family is into biking, this is an ideal rack. It’s perfect for a nuclear family and strong enough to transport your bikes over long distances. However, you may need to struggle a bit to get four bikes onto the rack. While it says its capacity is four bikes, only two or three can fit with ease. Use extra bungee cords if you feel like you need to secure your bikes more safely.</p>
<p>The rack is easy to set up and might take around 10 minutes to set up the first time. Luckily, it’s easy enough that you don’t need to refer to the manual, because the instructions are substandard to say the least.</p>
<p>Besides these negative points, you’re good to go. The rack is sturdy and your bikes are safe on it, it will even protect your bikes surfaces and is very convenient to use. It is suitable for long distance travel and quite satisfactory in the sense that at the end of your journey you will find your bikes still securely attached. One of the biggest plus points is that it folds down flat, so you can just store it in your trunk when it’s not in use. Also, you can open your hatch with the rack still attached. This is a feature not many racks have and makes this rack all the more user friendly.</p>
<p>The F4 Heavy Duty 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack is also very expedient because it is easily adaptable to any type of vehicle. This is especially useful if you have more than one vehicle to which you would like to attach the rack. The next time you need to take your bikes along, you can just attach the bike rack on to whichever car you’re driving at the time.</p>
<p>This bike rack is quite reasonably priced, considering you can fit four bikes onto it. If you are looking for a durable and strong bike rack that’s easy to use at the same time, you’ve found your match!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Hollywood Racks’ Traveler series is an extremely efficient range of bikes, capable of handling your bikes with care.</p>
<p>The HR6000 Traveler is more of a convenience-oriented rack. It isn’t meant for heavy duty use, but has enough of security features to be a reliable, safe rack.<br />
Its features:</p>
<ul>
<li>The new patented Hollywood Traveler Hitch Rack.</li>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 3 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A fit designed for a 2 inch receiver.</li>
<li>“No Wobble” threaded pin for extra security.</li>
<li>Tilting feature for cargo access.</li>
<li>Rubber straps for bike and even car protection.</li>
<li>Bike cradles with anti-sway blocks for stability.</li>
<li>Foldable arms for easy storage.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hollywood-racks-hr6000-traveler-3-bike-hitch-mount-rack2-inch-receiver.jpg"><img src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hollywood-racks-hr6000-traveler-3-bike-hitch-mount-rack2-inch-receiver.jpg" alt="Hollywood Racks HR6000 Traveler 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-inch receiver)" title="Hollywood Racks HR6000 Traveler 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-inch receiver)" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-342" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-203"></span></p>
<p>As you can see, the HR6000 is a convenient, easy to use rack- nothing out of the ordinary, but it won’t disappoint you either. It does come with some great security features. The patented “No Wobble” threaded pin, rubber straps and anti-sway blocks all do their job well and secure your bikes firmly without any hassle. The hitch pin prevents the rack from swaying and also prevents car to bike and bike to bike collisions. The rubber used in the cradle and the straps protect your bikes and your car from scratches. As is evident, you don’t need to worry about your bikes once they are attached- you can be rest assured knowing the rack does its job well. If you feel the security isn’t enough, you can simply use extra bungee cords or straps.</p>
<p>This rack is ideal for long distance and frequent use. You can use it any weather and on any type of terrain, but you may need to use added security accordingly. For example, if you are a college student who needs a rack to transport a bike to and from home, it’s a perfect option for you. It’s also ideal if you’re taking a vacation or a weekend away with friends or family and plan on taking the bikes along. The bottom line is that it’s a very expedient rack, and can suit a variety of needs and requirements.</p>
<p>The rack is very reasonably priced. The arms fold down for cargo access which means that you can use it for multiple stop trips where you’ll need to use the trunk. The rack also folds for easy storage so that you can put it away in a cupboard, your garage or even your trunk when it’s not in use. Stowing it in your trunk is a great idea because it means that you don’t need to lug it to and from the car for every use.</p>
<p>Overall, this rack doesn’t have the best security, but enough for lightweight use. It can be flexible to suit your needs- essentially, this is a very safe rack to opt for and you won’t be disappointed.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-199"></span></p>
<p>Thus, as you can see, the rack offers a variety of security features. The rubber cradles help carry the bike steadily and protect the bike at the same time.

<p>The bike rack is sturdy, long lasting and definitely beneficial in both, the long and short run. There’s really no better option out there for you if you have three bikes to carry and a car with a rear mounted spare tire. You can drive through the worst conditions and roads, take sharp turns, drive really fast; and the bikes won’t as much wobble.</p>
<p>To conclude, the rack is one you can really depend on. With a rear mounted spare tire, you have your work cut out for you when it comes to getting a good rack. The HR320 Road Runner is definitely the solution to all your problems. It will certainly never let you down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Allen Bike Racks is a company started by Dick Allen in his Lincoln, Massachusetts home. It was actually born out of his own need for bike racks, as he and his family would often go out biking. Allen Bike Racks was sold through a number of major distributors and today it owns over three-dozen patents. It is quite a trusted company, started by Dick Allen, a Harvard &#8211; trained physicist. The business is now handled by his son Alex and has expanded vastly.</p>
<p>The Allen Premium 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-inch receiver) is a very safe option to go with, because it offers you security as well as convenience. Keep in mind though; it isn’t very suitable for heavy duty usage. It features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 5 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>28” arms that drop down quickly for convenient storage.</li>
<li>The new Quick Carry Arm release.</li>
<li>Easy and fast set up and installation.</li>
<li>Allen’s patented tie-down system.</li>
<li>Separate tie-down strap.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Allen-Premium-5-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Rack-2-inch-receiver.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193" title="Allen Premium 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Allen-Premium-5-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Rack-2-inch-receiver.jpg" alt="Allen Premium 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-192"></span></p>
<p>Anyone can set up and install the rack- it only takes about 5 minutes. The rack is very convenient to use, and is not the high end, heavy duty type. It offers you enough security and expediency features for daily use, but it may be best not to test its endurance in extreme weather and terrains. You can, however, use it for long distances. The patented tie-down system ensures that the bikes are secure and protected at the same time. The separate tie-down strap prevents lower movement completely, which prevents bike to bike and car to car collisions. The rack comes with a no-wobble bolt that holds it securely within the hitch, adding to the security of the bikes. As you can see, the rack has a competent security system, enough to keep the bikes from wobbling dangerously.</p>
<p>The rack’s arms even drop down, allowing the rack to fold easily for storage. Once folded, you can stow it away in a cupboard. You can also stash it in your trunk, so that you don’t have to carry it to and from the car every time you decide to use it. The rack even tilts, so that you can access your trunk with the rack still attached.</p>
<p>Considering the rack can carry up to 5 bikes at a time, it comes at a very reasonable price. It even comes with a lifetime warranty, which is an added advantage.</p>
<p>The Allen Premium 5-bike Hitch Mount Rack has very few downsides to it if any. Also, any problems can be fixed easily and aren’t a big deal. This rack is a great option for regular use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Allen Deluxe Swung-Away 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack is the same as any Allen Deluxe bike rack, albeit with one outstanding feature. It swings out smoothly and conveniently, allowing you tailgate access whenever required. It is this feature that gives the rack one up over all the others, making it quite a unique contraption among a large range of unvarying ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Allen-Deluxe-Swing-Away-4-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Rack-2-inch-receiver.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-190" title="Allen Deluxe Swing Away 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Allen-Deluxe-Swing-Away-4-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Rack-2-inch-receiver.jpg" alt="Allen Deluxe Swing Away 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-189"></span></p>
<p>Allen Bike Racks all made of the highest quality of materials and each type of rack has its own unique feature. The Swing Away is no different. The Swing Away hitch mount rack is made to be easy to use, making them a popular favorite with the customers. It is a great combination of excellent security and expediency. It has the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A      capacity for carrying up to 4 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A      design made to fit a 2 inch receiver.</li>
<li>Swing      Away feature which allows Bikes to swing completely out of the way for      easy trunk access.</li>
<li>Patented      folding arms system.</li>
<li>Patented      tie-down system to individually secure bikes.</li>
<li>Lifetime      warranty on workmanship and materials.</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, the Swing Away rack is well built and offers a wide range of security features. Along with this, it’s also high on convenience. The rack comes with the patented tie-down system which individually secures and fastens your bikes, increasing the efficiency of the system. It locks and unlocks easily with the push of a lever and twist of a heavy duty, rubber coated wing nut. The Swing Away feature allows the bikes to swing out, offering you tailgate access. The rack being made of steel, is made for heavy duty use and is extremely durable. However, the one downside to this feature is that the rack is extremely heavy.</p>
<p>The rack does come with the patented folding arm system, which allows you to store the bike conveniently when not in use. This feature does solve the heavy weight problem though. When your rack isn’t in use, you can simply fold it and stow it away in your trunk. That way, you don’t need to lug it around to and from your car with every use.</p>
<p>The rack is ideal for you if you tend to go biking with family and friends. Its capacity for carrying up to 4 bikes at a time makes it prefect for a nuclear family. The rack is great for weekend  getaway, vacations or even regular use in and around town. It will also hold up in all sorts of weather, even on really rough terrains.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the rack is great- not the best out there, but fairly competent. It comes at a great price and is definitely worth every penny considering the features it offers. It also comes with a lifetime warranty on workmanship and materials, making it convenient to get any repair work done or problems solved. The rack is a terrific option if you are looking for such rack.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Allen Bike Racks was founded by Dick Allen in his Lincoln, Massachusetts home garage. He started building bike racks out of a personal need for them. By 1971, Allen bike racks were sold nationally through distributors. Today, it has expanded vastly and is run by Dick Allen’s on Alex. The company owns over three dozen patents, operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and sells products in over twelve countries worldwide.</p>
<p>The Deluxe 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack is a really nice rack, considering it’s one of the few racks that actually offers you a capacity to carry 5 bikes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Allen-Deluxe-5-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Rack-2-inch-receiver.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-187" title="Allen Deluxe 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Allen-Deluxe-5-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Rack-2-inch-receiver.jpg" alt="Allen Deluxe 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-186"></span></p>
<p>The rack features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Deluxe Hitch Mounted Bike Rack holds up to 5 bikes.</li>
<li>Tie – down system which individually secures and protects you bikes.</li>
<li>28 &#8211; inch carrying arms which are foldable.</li>
<li>Designed for 2-inch hitches.</li>
<li>Includes security strap.</li>
<li>Lifetime warranty.</li>
</ul>
<p>The 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack is ideal for a family that loves to go biking. It’s perfect for weekend trips, biking expeditions, or family outings. A 5-bike capacity is a major plus point of this rack.</p>
<p>There is a slight inconvenience when it comes to actually loading 5 bikes onto the rack. It may sag a bit, especially with the bikes on, and you’ll spend the entire ride worrying about your bikes falling off.</p>
<p>It also isn’t safe considering the clearance is extremely low. However, it isn’t necessary that you will face this problem- you can even have a perfectly good and satisfying experience with this rack.</p>
<p>For the price it comes at, the rack is definitely a terrific option. Its major advantage is that it can actually carry 5 bikes at the same time.</p>
<p>In short, the Allen Deluxe 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack may have its problems, but they can be easily solved. The rack does have security features like tie down system, security straps and 28 inch carrying arms.</p>
<p>The arms also fold down for convenient storage, which is another bonus. You can just store the folded rack in your trunk, which is definitely convenient on outings and trips. Also, you can open the trunk with the rack attached, which turns out to be very convenient.</p>
<p>To conclude, this is a nice rack to opt for if you actually have a requirement for a 5-bike rack. If you don’t really have 5 bikes but just want to buy a 5-bike rack for future purposes, it’s not recommended.</p>
<p>In that case, it would be better to go for something smaller and more compact which also offers you a higher level of security.</p>
<p>The Allen rack also comes with a lifetime warranty, so any fixing that needs to be done won’t be a problem. Not all companies offer lifetime warranty and even if they do it’s usually limited, so this is also another plus point.</p>
<p>With this bike rack, you get a more than what you pay for. It’s worth the money and more, and the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Picking out this rack is an excellent choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thule is known for its superior design and advanced security features. The Thule 964 Revolver 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack is no different. Its features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 4 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>A design made to fit a 2-inch receiver.</li>
<li>Swing away design for cargo access.</li>
<li>Hitch Switch quick release lever for fast storage of bike carrier arms.</li>
<li>Integrated locking cable stores conveniently in carrier.</li>
<li>No Sway cage which prevents the bikes from colliding.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thule-964-Revolver-4-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Rack-2-inch-receiver1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-184" title="Thule 964 Revolver 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thule-964-Revolver-4-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Rack-2-inch-receiver1.jpg" alt="Thule 964 Revolver 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2 inch receiver)" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-182"></span></p>
<p>As you can see from the features listed above, the rack is a very reliable and efficient contraption. You can trust it with your most prized bike without any hesitation. The security features provided ensure that your bikes stay put without so much of a wobble. The Hitch Switch quick release system helps for the fast storage of bike carrier arms. The integrated locking cable adds to the security, holding your bikes firmly to the rack. To prevent the rack from swaying it holds the rack steady within the hitch. Thule’s T3 Cradles hold the bike firmly in place while protecting their finish at the same time. The No Sway cage prevents bike to bike and car to bike collision, also preventing scratches and other damages. All these security features make sure that your bikes stay attached firmly to the rack.</p>
<p>The rack is sturdy enough for some heavy duty usage. You can trust it even in really bad weather and rough terrains. It’s also reliable for long distance travel. The rack won’t come loose and the straps will keep your bikes firmly in place. In addition to this, the rack tilts to allow you cargo access, so that it’s convenient to open the trunk on long distance trips.</p>
<p>The rack is definitely expensive, but well worth the money. It’s fully equipped with Thule’s various patented security features, and is easy to use at the same time. It’s no hassle to set it up and take it off- in fact, it takes barely any time and anyone can do it. The Revolver weighs 59 pounds and has a carrying capacity of 140 pounds. The entire package includes the 964 Revolver hitch mount bike, all necessary mounting hardware and securing straps, STL2 Hitch Lock, locking cable, lock keys and instruction guide.</p>
<p>The bike is a brilliant contraption, well built and sturdy. It can even handle all four bikes at a time without any effort, which is more than you can expect with some other racks. It’s worth every penny you pay for it- definitely a great choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Allen Bike Racks is a company started by Dick Allen in his Lincoln, Massachusetts home. It was actually born out of his own need for bike racks, as he and his family would often go out biking. Allen Bike Racks was sold through a number of major distributors and today it owns over three-dozen patents.</p>
<p>The Allen Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack is very safe choice when it comes to racks. It features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A simple, sturdy bike carrying system.</li>
<li>A fit for most sedans, SUVs and minivans.</li>
<li>Single configuration design which eliminates setup and installation difficulties.</li>
<li>12-inch long carry arms for 2 bikes.</li>
<li>Patented individual tie down system.</li>
<li>Lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Allen-Deluxe-2-Bike-Trunk-Mount-Hitch-Rack.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-180" title="Allen Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Hitch Rack" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Allen-Deluxe-2-Bike-Trunk-Mount-Hitch-Rack.jpg" alt="Allen Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Hitch Rack" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-179"></span></p>
<p>As you can see from the features listed above, this rack comes with enough features to keep your bikes safe. However, it isn’t necessarily the best when it comes to security. The rack doesn’t offer any straps or bolts for preventing swaying. It doesn’t have a security system to hold the wheels steady and keep them from colliding. Also, if you aren’t careful, the pedals of your bike may scratch your car. The tie down system does hold your bike securely to some extent, but you may need to use some extra bungee cords or straps.</p>
<p>This rack is a good choice, but not for long distance or rough roads. Don’t test its endurance with any extra load, because it definitely won’t be able to withstand the pressure.</p>
<p>If you use a bike rack only once in a while, that too only for transport within your city or town, this rack is a great choice. It is easy to install, so anyone can do it in a matter of seconds. It comes fully assembled, so you don’t have to put in any effort there. Its two carry arms are quite sturdy, but you should put your heavier bike on the slot closest to the car. That way, you do not put too much pressure on the rack.</p>
<p>The Allen Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack even comes at a great price and a lifetime warranty. You will definitely find better bike racks out there, but not for this price – you’ll really have to search a lot.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, this is a great bike rack, but not for heavy duty use. It’s good enough for using once in a while, maybe to pick up the children’s bikes and drop them off to some place. If you plan on using the rack a lot, over long distance and rough routes, it’s better that you opt for a sturdier rack than this.</p>
<p>While the security system isn’t the best and the aesthetics aren’t too good either – the foam supports are grey, the top and bottom struts are unpainted silver aluminum and the caps at the end of the rack are white- the rack can definitely deliver. Thus, it’s a great bike if it suits your requirements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Thule T2 is, like all Thule racks, absolutely top of the range and excellent in both features and performance. It has a wide array of security features, guaranteed to secure your bikes more firmly than ever before, letting you rest easy knowing your bikes are safe.</p>
<p>The Thule T2 features wheel-only contact for better stability and protection. Like all Thule products, this rack also has the best security features, ensured to handle your bikes safely and allow hassle-free transport. The features of the rack:</p>
<ul>
<li>Securehook, which holds the bike steady by grabbing onto the front wheel.</li>
<li>Hitch Switch lever, which fold the rack for easy storage and also allows cargo access.</li>
<li>Reinforced tray for maximum strength and rust – free protection.</li>
<li>Adjustable wheel strap which secures the back wheel firmly to the tray.</li>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 2 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>Made to fit 2” receivers.</li>
<li>Design made to fit 20” to 29” wheel diameter bikes.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thule-T2-2-Bike-Carrier-Receiver-Hitch-Rack..jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-176" title="Thule T2 2-Bike Carrier Receiver Hitch Rack" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thule-T2-2-Bike-Carrier-Receiver-Hitch-Rack..jpg" alt="Thule T2 2-Bike Carrier Receiver Hitch Rack" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-175"></span></p>
<p>The T2 is different from the usual rack, in the sense that it secures your bikes from the wheel only. This prevents your bike’s body from getting scratched and also holds your bikes firmly in place. Of course, the design may not make sense to you at first, but keeping in mind that this is Thule, the rack is sure to be secure, reliable and well built. It does have a Securehook which grabs on to your bike, holding it in place and steadying your bike. There are also adjustable wheel straps for your back wheels, which results in securing your bike firmly to the tray with both wheels. The tray is reinforced for maximum strength, so you can rest assured that it can take your bikes’ weight. The tray also comes with rust-free protection, making it long-lasting and durable.</p>
<p>The T2 comes with a great advantage that is it prevents collisions. The wheel-only contact feature does not allow bike to bike or car to bike collision, thus preventing scratches and other damage to your bikes and car. The rack also folds for easy storage so that when it is not in use, you can stow it in a cupboard or any convenient location. The Hitch Switch lever also allows you to access your cargo area, a useful feature on long journeys or multi-stop trips.</p>
<p>The rack is rather expensive, but worth the money, taking into account the various security and convenience features. The rack is, overall, very reliable- you can trust it with your most prized bikes. It can also be used on long distance trips without worrying about its strength and efficiency. It will satisfy all your needs and requirements and can be use in all kinds of weather and on all kinds of terrains.</p>
<p>All in all, the T2 is an excellent rack: well-constructed, dependable, strong, user friendly and a great choice for the regular bikers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  Roadway 5 Bike Hitch Carrier has great security features and is an extremely safe and reliable option. Its features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Thule’s patented Stay Put cradle to hold bike securely while also protecting the frame.</li>
<li>Detachable anti-sway cage to hold you bikes in place and prevent them from colliding.</li>
<li>Hitch Switch lever to fold down arms when not in use.</li>
<li>Tilts away from vehicle for cargo access.</li>
<li>Fits 1.25” or 2” receivers.</li>
<li>Has a capacity for carrying 5 bikes at a time.</li>
<li>High strength steel construction.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thule-Roadway-5-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Carrier.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173" title="Thule Roadway 5-Bike Hitch Mount Carrier" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thule-Roadway-5-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Carrier.jpg" alt="Thule Roadway 5-Bike Hitch Mount Carrier" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-172"></span></p>
<p>This bike rack is obviously built for heavy duty use. It has a capacity for 5 bikes, which in itself is an admirable feat, because most bike racks with a capacity of 5 bikes cannot actually handle the weight. This rack, however, performs beautifully under heavy weights. It weighs 33 pounds and has a maximum carrying capacity of 150 pounds. The rack can handle rough weather conditions and is steady on all types of terrains. The Stay Put cradle and anti-sway cage hold the bikes firmly at all times. Thule’s T3 Cradles lock the bikes into place while allowing complete adjustment along the arms. The arms even fold down when not in use, so as to stay out of your way.</p>
<p>Another convenient feature is that the rack folds down for easy storage, so you can store it as per your convenience without too much of a hassle. The rack is also easy to install and it takes hardly any time to do so, making this rack easy to use and efficient. The Roadway tilts away from the car for trunk access, which is quite an expedient feature; but you will need around 3 people to tilt the rack if it has 5 bikes attached. The rack even comes with Thule’s patented Stinger Swinger hitch that converts quickly from a 2”receiver to a 1.25” receiver, straight out of the box. Clearly, this rack is not only well-built but is also user-friendly.</p>
<p>The rack is a little on the expensive side as most Thule bike racks are, but it is definitely worth every penny you spend. It comes with the 915 Roadway hitch mount bike rack, all the required mounting hardware, the necessary securing straps and the instruction guide. The Roadway also comes with limited lifetime warranty.</p>
<p>All in all, this bike is the perfect option for you if you often go biking with your family and friends. It’s easy to use and convenient. It also holds up well under heavy weights with no strain at all. Its extra security features like the anti-sway cage, T3 cradle and high strength steel frame protect the bike’s finish and make for easy transport without so much of a wobble. It’s definitely an excellent, well constructed rack.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Thule Roadway 4-Bike Hitch Carrier is a really good, dependable rack and is heavy on the security features. Its features:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Thule Ridgeline is a very reliable and dependable option that fulfills all your requirements. It is easy to use, convenient and efficient at the same time. Its features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A capacity for carrying up to 4 bikes.</li>
<li>A fit for 1.25” or 2” receivers.</li>
<li>Hitch Switch mechanism for easy removal as well as installation.</li>
<li>Thule’s patented T3 cradles for securing your bikes and protecting their finish at the same time.</li>
<li>No Sway cage for holding the bikes in place so as to prevent them from colliding.</li>
<li>Integrated locking cable.</li>
<li>STL2 hitch lock for added security.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thule-Ridgeline-Hitch-Bike-Carrier.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-167" title="Thule Ridgeline Hitch Bike Carrier" src="http://www.birack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thule-Ridgeline-Hitch-Bike-Carrier.jpg" alt="Thule Ridgeline Hitch Bike Carrier" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-166"></span></p>
<p>As is evident from the features listed above, this rack is heavy on the security features. It comes with a variety of safety features that ensure that your bike is safe and protected. The Hitch Switch mechanism allows you to access your car at any time in a very convenient manner, with its dual quick-release levers for easy connection and removal of the rack. The T3 cradles lock down bikes while still allowing adjustment along the arms. The No Sway cage holds your bikes firmly, not allowing them to collide into each other and thus protecting not only your car from scratches, but also your bikes’ finish. In addition to this, the rack comes with an integrated locking cable and STL2 hitch lock to prevent theft.</p>
<p>The one downside is that the Ridgeline is extremely expensive. It may fall out of your budget, but if you decide to splurge on this rack you will not be disappointed. It is ideal for families or biking expeditions with friends. It can handle all sorts of weather and terrains, without letting the bikes wobble. If you tend to go biking with your family, or taking weekend outings, this rack is ideal for you. It has a maximum carrying capacity of 140lb.</p>
<p>You may think the rack isn’t worth the money and you may not want to take the risk of finding out for yourself, but with the security features and easy to use style it has, this rack is well worth the money. If a sturdy and well-constructed bike rack is not what you are looking for but you need a run of the mill rack for daily, light use, this is not really the rack for you. Rather, it would be a waste of money.</p>
<p>The Ridgeline has no downsides at all- it’s perfect from every angle. It will satisfy all your requirements and is sure to please you, so don’t hesitate to opt for it.</p>
