Review on Saris Bones 805 2 Bike Trunk by Tio Kotaki

This bike rack is ideal for small children's bikes with bars, but not for adult bikes. Most hybrid, dirt, or cruise bikes have a crossbar that slopes downward, so you'll need a handlebar adapter like the Swagman, otherwise the rear wheel will be high in the air and the bike won't be balanced on the rack. Also, the bars are close together (for small bikes) but don't provide enough lateral support for larger bikes. Also, I had to remove the pedal on the inboard bike as it would destroy the bootlid bumper (Camry). The plastic straps are firm and difficult to put on, tighten and loosen, and the bottom straps are twisted in an awkward position. I had to add shock absorbers and foam padding to protect the car. The only thing holding this rack in the car are six nylon straps so there is no way to secure the rack and bike in the car unless you thread the lock through the lock. Car tow hook. Once the trunk is attached, you CANNOT open the trunk lid. When you open the lid, you have to take the bikes out of the rack to close the lid. Good qualities - it's small, especially when folded. And light weight.
