Bicycle racks

I just wanted to give a shout out to a fantastic bike rack that my friend and forum member, White Coyote referred me to.
1-Up Company bike racks. Strong, light weight aircraft aluminum, super easy to operate and made in America. I bought the single bike rack, but you can add up to 4 bikes. Just got back from the Woodward Dream Cruise with it.
Also, great and easy lock systems for trailer hitch and for bikes.

I have a four bike Yakima rack that was made for a 3/4 or 1" trailer hitch. I have an adapter to full size (2"?) You have to alternate the bikes to get 4 on there. I like that the cable lock on the first bike and the hitch lock are keyed the same. But 4 bikes suspended out the back of our CRV is a lot of momentum on a bumpy road. So I use two ratchet straps to mostly stabilize it.

I once saw a Suburban at a park that the bike rack was modified to hold 9 bikes! Driving that many kids to the park could do permanent damage to your ears and/or your brain!

Nothing better than 1-Up! I've got a three-bike model in silver like yours and it is a superb piece of engineering with a bombproof build.
