Allen Deluxe 4 Bike Hitch Mount Rack- For Rear Spare Tire Vehicles

One drawback to most trailer hitch mounted bicycle racks is they won’t fit if you have a rear mounted spare tire. Allen has created a solution for this with the 542rr. Below are some of the features this model offers:

Plenty of Room for Four Bikes

This 4 bike carrier has ample room to carry something for everyone. With 22″ Carrying arms the Allen rack gives enough room for your bikes to safely ride.

Individual Bike Cradles

Unlike some systems each bike has its own cradle. This helps to keep your favorite frame in place. By keeping it in place you reduce the chance of damaging yours or others bikes.

Superman Material

Just like the man of steel this carrier is ruggedly built. Able to withstand long rides and heavy bikes you’ll know it will save the day.

Powder Coat Finish

Just as the carrier is made of steel the powder coat finish helps protect it too. Resistant to scratches and dings, the finish helps to keep your rack looking good for years to come.

Patented Single Key Release System

Not much fumbling around trying to release the post on this puppy. Quickly tilt it down to gain access to your gear. Although it is specially made with rear spare tire mounts in mind, it does not swing very far. Sorry Jeep Wrangler owners, you won’t have room to swing the gate out.

Patented Tie Down Strap

Allen made a specially designed strap to give the best security available. No need to worry about your bike bouncing off the back while going down a mountain back road.

2 Inch Mount

This model only comes available for two inch receivers.

Light Weight And Easily Moved

Even though it’s made of steel it is still light enough for most adults and many children to handle. Coming in a 27.2 pounds this rack can be easily moved from between vehicles or back and forth to the garage.

Although not as popular a brand as other hitch racks, this is a great unit for rear spare vehicles.

Bike Racks Dot Com Worships a Brand New Idol

Yep, that wreck is absolutely as asphalt-eating terrible as it looks. It happened in the sleepy Northern California town of Santa Rosa not long ago. Santa Rosa is mostly known for its tide pools, logging industry, and the Pez Factory, but it also is a hotbed of bicycle activity. Bicycle enthusiasts can be found on just about any street corner, and sometimes they aren’t riding a bicycle. Ha-ha! Anyway, there was a race. Many Santa Rosa folks, and many from abroad, and many from Cleveland, and Paris, raced their bikes. And then, there was one fella who used substandard tracking foils on his dimster-splitter (in the front gulf), and he crashed. Which lead to a chain reaction. An ugly, FATAL one. Many cyclists perished, BUT ALL WAS NOT LOST!! Santa Rosa is crafty, so they bandied together and took all of those smashed bikes and created a tribute to the bikers who bravely gave their lives to race that race. They actually built a giant tower crafted from all the destroyed bicycles; bic...

BIKE RACKS FOR SUVS

Naturally, people who own an SUV and who love to bike will also need special bike racks for SUV's. Probably the most popular type of bike rack for SUVs today are the roof mount type. An SUV of course has a different profile than a sedan or sports model vehicle. It is generally larger and taller than a regular passenger car and has a rear door rather than a trunk lid in the back. Bike racks for SUV's need to fit the back of the vehicle securely as well as providing a rear view that is as unobstructed as possible. Probably the two most popular choices in bike racks for SUV's are the roof mounted type and the hitch mount type but there are strap on types available similar to those used on trunk mount racks. The strap on type may be preferable for those who do not have or want a trailer hitch an...
