Bike Rack for Two Bikes The Best Bike Rack

If you're looking for a bike rack for two bikes, I recommend the Allen Sports 4-Slot Bike Rack. Unfortunately, if you have 4 bikes, Allen does not have an 8 slot bike rack. Simple rule? Take the total number of bikes that the rack can hold, divide by two, and you get the number of bikes that can fit on the rack. In other words, if you don't want to fight the devil every time you want to take your bikes somewhere, I'd recommend a roomier bike rack. Seriously, you should be able to fit four bikes

Pros
  • Great Overall Features
Cons
  • Little Things

I enjoyed using it

I have owned this shelf since September 2015 and have enjoyed using it for almost 2 years. Recently, however, the quick release pin has rusted and broken. This isn't a major issue for the stand's function, but is crucial to keeping it upright. So I contacted Allen Sport and they told me that this $6.50 part is not covered by their lifetime warranty. As you can imagine I was very surprised that a key component was not covered and I had to purchase a replacement item. Even the warranty literature

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Almost never

The Thule equivalent isn't worth the extra money, I have both.

I have a $250 Thule rack that looks like this. We needed a second rack so I took a chance after reading the reviews. Thule is better made, but the extra beef isn't really needed. Sometimes you really don't need a rebuild. This shelf is lighter and folds for storage - both advantages. There is one issue with this rack that has been noted in a number of reviews. The hitch pin that comes with the kit is approximately 9/16" and the standard 5/8" hitch pin will not fit. For $10 get this set of step…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Long Term Test: Case & Holder

According to Revane we bought this Allen bike rack almost 3 years ago (16th July 2015) and I thought I should finally write a review about it. Check out my photos to see how well it is aging and holding up with constant sun exposure and very heavy use. We leave the bike rack on all year round and rarely take it off. You can see that the red handle has finally succumbed to the sun and has recently broken off a piece, but other than that it hasn't affected function in the slightest. When the…

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • Thin

Good product! for car carrier and holder

The price is right, the bike carrier is excellent. We have used 4 bike racks for our daughters bikes and have ridden over 1000 miles. We attached the trunk to our 2001 Chevy Suburban. 2 bikes During our trip we only had two bikes with us. We're not big bikers, just a family with kids who want to ride bikes, so we didn't want to spend too much money. This bike rack is perfect. We used the bolt and screw it came with and there was absolutely no wobble, movement or noise as we rode over 1000…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some difficulties

It's not scary, but find out how it works before you buy.

I took some time to use this product before writing my review because I wanted to help people decide if it was right for them or not not before they spend their hard-earned cash. So to start, here's how I use the bike rack. I attached it to my pickup truck's hitch and we usually drive about 10 miles to our destination. The advantages are as follows. I bought a deluxe 4 bike bike rack for very little money. I paid $68 when I bought it and saw it was double the price. My suggestion is don't pay…

  • Handy item
