Does it require being mounted on a floor or wall? (If you don't mount it and use it on the floor, if you put a bike in on one end will the other end tip upward?) Is there enough space between the slots to fit 4 adult size bikes adjacent to each other...

No mounting necessary. We have ours in the driveway. 3 kids bikes. 1 adult bike. I kids scooter. I just separated the unit. Three bikes on one side and two on the other. Did it because we have as spicket and hose in the middle (space limitations). Still strong even though we separated the unit. Good product. Don't worry about support or mounting.

It can, but they will be pretty close together. I don't like my bikes to rub against each other, so I usually will only Cary one adult bike and one kid bike on his rack.

Hi. We have this stand and it does not need to be attached to the floor. It is quite stable and also light and easy to move around, which is handy if you are, say, cleaning the garage and want to stand the bikes up in the driveway. It's been great for us.

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up! Cheers! Curt &gt;~iii~&lt;( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!

go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and tapped holes at the bottom. they also sell cheaper racks that just clamp to the seat post tube.

My assumption, looking at the pedal unit, it needs the stand (or something) to attach to so it doesn't tip over. The support board in the back, rides about 1/2 inch above the floor while the pedals are on the floor. But using the pedals would knock the whole thing over. I assume you could screw two triangle pieces to the ends to keep it stable, but it appears to need something to keep it from falling over. Hope this helps.

hi jonathan. i bought this bike hitch and am very satisfied with it. i'm not exactly sure what you're getting at with your question but i can tell you that the carrier base rod at the bottom extends a good amount to give ample space so that one can easily mount 4 bikes to the hitch. but once the bikes are mounted and strapped, you push the base rod back in and secure it. when the hitch is ready for transport with 4 bikes, i'd say that there's at least between 2-3ft between the tires of the 1st bike and the 4th bike in case you wanted to loop an extra cable (or bike lock) to secure all the bikes together. i hope that helps you.

I got (2) kids bikes on mine (plus 2 adults) without the extra bar or padding. The girl bikes sit slightly differently as they don't have the upper cross bar. I hang them from the lower bar of the bike (on one arm) and the small area between the seat and rear tire (on the other arm). It works fine.

I have it mounted about a foot above the floor, no issues. It's a very self-contained unit so mounting shouldn't matter that much, it's make sure the space in front is clear.

It depends on the width of the handlebars. I actually mounted a piece of wood on the wall to span the distance of a few studs, as to not have the positioning of the studs dictate the spacing of the brackets. The you can mount the brackets whichever distance you want from each other, and not sacrifice support.

Not sure what kind of girl's bike you have, but you would likely need to add a support bar from the handle bars to seat. However, if you want to add two bikes to this rack, get another one. The handlebars on adult bikes prohibit a good fit, even if you put them rear to rear.

If you were to do that, I'd suggest you ensure the frame is secured to the wall and the red prongs are evenly holding the bike's weight. I used this with two bikes, one adult and one child. However, I didn't not secure the frame to a wall since I live in an apartment. I relied on pure gravity and appropriate weight balance.

You can mount three but the space will be tight depending on the hight of your ceiling. Four only with small kids bikes (12"/16"). I currently have a 20" and a 24" on the rack.

Yes, it will accommodate 4 bikes. There are actually 4 mounts shown in the picture but it is difficult to discern. This is an excellent bike rack and we have had 4 mountain bikes on it on occasion, 4 road bikes are easy to carry.

It can probably hold 3 children's bikes. With 2 adult bikes on I doubt it can hold another. I holds 2 adult bikes just fine.

I was limited for space on my 60" wall, so I hung four brackets 12" apart and like you're planning, alternated them between high and low. I own four 26" Specialized mountain bikes with standard length handlebars. To make them fit, I inverted (faced downwards) the lower bracketed bikes and kept the upper bracketed bikes facing upwards. The clearance between the handlebars is 1-2". The reason I hang it that way is so I can take any bike out without having it interfere with the others. Hope this helps.

Yes! Mine is currently in the living room, on "regular" carpet (not super long or short carpet). It's holding 2 adult bikes, 1 helmet, 1 bike lock, 1 water pouch backpack and is very sturdy. I can bump the bikes, while cleaning, and it hasn't budged yet.
