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 – trained physicist. The business is now handled by his son Alex and has expanded vastly.
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:
- A capacity for carrying up to 5 bikes at a time.
- 28” arms that drop down quickly for convenient storage.
- The new Quick Carry Arm release.
- Easy and fast set up and installation.
- Allen’s patented tie-down system.
- Separate tie-down strap.
