 Great price... Good Product July 15, 2007

We just took our bell bike rack on a 9 hour trip and the bikes did great! We did tie them up with a few bungee cords so they wouldn't rattle around on the highway. The bike rack did fine with 2 adult bikes each with a baby seat and another child's bike.
A great Value! March 19, 2008

I have been carrying two new very nice "bike shop" 26" Comfort bicycles since Christmas 2007, and two little kids bikes with my Bell HitchBiker. It takes some creative positioning to mount the kids bikes.
It is rock solid! It's mounted in my SUV's 2"x2" receiver.
If you properly use the included tapered hitch pin, it becomes one with the hitch. No rattling, no play, no side to side movement. Other reviewers must have used their own standard hitch pin.
I normally use additional bungie cords with ANY brand of bike rack. So while the velcro/rubber design is weak compared to the BIG name brands, it's not an overall issue.
Best Value Bike Rack Available! December 15, 2007

I'm surprised to see other reviews here that are so critical of this excellent product. My guess is they weren't installed correctly or the bolts were left too loose. Mine is rock solid & doesn't move even 1/4" from side-to-side. It's so strong I can lift myself up on it at the end of the support bars -- I'm 265Lbs & the rack doesn't sag at all under my weight. The design allows me to pivot the rack down by simply sliding out a pull pin to easily open my SUV's back hatch and the powder-coated finish & overall workmanship is superb. I was able to use a simple cable & padlock it to my hitch receiver to prevent its theft, allowing me to leave it attached 24/7. At this price & with no tax or shipping it's the best value available! I couldn't be happier!
Great!! July 17, 2008

This is a wonderful product. I can put two child and two adult bikes on here without a problem. The bolt is very easy, however you do have to do more then just slide the bolt in the hitch. In order to secure the rack you have to tighten the bolt with a wrench. The reviews that comment on how loose it is did not tighten the bolt. Once you do that (follow the instructions) it is tight and secure. After years of use one of the velcro straps snapped free from the red connecter. However, when I called the company they replaced the set free of charge. Definately reccommend!!

When mounted per instructions, this thing is solid and will hold over 100 lbs. It does not move, and seems well made. It fits 1.25" x 1.25" or 2"x2" mounts per the instructions, and bolted up to my SUV in a few minutes.
Most of those complaining about loose fits seem to think they have a 4"x4" receiver (no such thing is made) so take these comments with a grain of salt.
