Review on Super Compact Trunk Bike Rack by Aaron Collins

Proper Fit: It's been over 17 years since I've been cycling and I wanted to get in shape and lose some weight so I decided to take up cycling and walking. I had to transport my bike on bridleways and needed a bike rack so after reading all the reviews on Revain and on the Walmart website I decided to buy this. One reviewer said you should go to the manufacturer's website to make sure the fit is correct and I suggest you do the same. Revain was right about the fit check, but confirm it anyway by going to http://allensportsusa.com/fit-list/. Don't ride on your back: folded it was heavier than I expected, but nothing special. worry about what I'm thinking if for some reason you're not going to carry it with you. In a video demonstrating the use of the mount, they show the model riding it on her back. Why you'd want to do that instead of just leaving it in your car is beyond me; because the storage bag that comes with it has no padding and uses drawstrings which I think will be very uncomfortable on your back the longer you ride. There's nothing to attach it to your car (to deter theft) so keep it in your car instead of leaving it in your car when you go for a bike ride. I wouldn't even fold it up, just put it in and all you have to do is take it out and install it once you get back from your trip. easily unfolds and mounts on my cars as well as a 4-door sedan and SUV. My bike's top tube is slanted rather than horizontal, so I had to attach it to the mounts using the top and down tubes. either a bungee cord or an additional bottom attachment strap. I found that I could lift the bike off the mount a little once I had it on the mounts, so I used a bungee cord to tie it more firmly to the mount to keep it from bouncing while riding. walk on a rough road. I got three packs of bungee of different lengths (s, m, l) from the dollar store which helped. . Sometimes I have to press the buttons really hard to get them through their little slots so I can cross my arms. Fingers hurt a lot. Otherwise an excellent product. May 15: PS Make sure the top legs are flush with each other. I've never done this and thought the thing would slide down but it wasn't, it just looked like it. There is a label on the back of the mount that I can see in my SUV's view mirror and it hasn't moved the whole time I've been driving (even over crazy bumps/rough roads); So that told me the mount was fully/properly secure. But it still scared me that one shoe would tilt lower than the other, especially when I hit the freeway and needed to hit at least 65 mph. I was so happy to see my driveway and when I caught you and tugged it barely moved. Again a good product.
