Can this thing REALLY hold 4 bikes? How about 1 adult bike and 3 kids bikes?

It will hold two adult bikes with no problem, but anything more would be tight. I am using mine to hold my grill and it takes up the room. Incidentally the Yardstash is really great. Directions appear clear, but can be confusing.

Our experience is that it will hold our two mountain bikes but no more. You might be able to get three children's bikes in but probably not the adult bike.

It depends on your ability to arrange them. Volume is available, but you have to be creative when putting the items in. I am able to stack the kids vehicles & take advantage of the 5 feet of vertical space. I also have Rubbermaid containers that can double as a shelf. My g-kids are only at the hot wheel / trike / battery powered vehicle stage, so it works wonderfully for us.

It can maybe hold 4, really depends on the size of the kid bicycles. If we are talking tricycles, probably, small sized two wheeled bikes, probably not. Look at the dimensions for depth, and then see if you can get your bikes to squish together given the dimensions in an imaginary area around your domicile.

We have 4 bike on ours and it is not to bad. Our bikes are light. It would depend on how you hang them.

It would probably depend on the weight. I don't know what the maximum weight limit is for the rack. It holds 3 bikes so bikes don't really weigh that much.

It will hold kids bikes, however, it may take some creativity to fit it on the rack. For example my sons crossbar isn't long enough to cross both supports. I just have to rest the wheel instead. The bike is a little slanted, but it stays put just fine.

We carry 4 bikes on it - 2 are adult bikes and the other are 16" bikes for preteens. You can look up the instruction manual to see if they have a weight limit: http://www.hollywoodracks.com/supp-instructions.htm

You you can....I purchased for six and easily have four group together for my kiddos bikes and two for the adult size. Very happy with my purchase.

We fit our 6 bikes fine, 4 kids and two adults. We alternate front tire in rack and rear tire in rack to make it easier for the kids to just pull their bike out without the handlebars bumping but we don't have to, they fit even if all are in the same direction.

Yes, it does. 2 Adult bikes can park one direction or 2 children's bikes in the side that's shorter.

No, it's not nearly big enough. A single bike wouldn't even fit. Uses two small garbage cans.

Yes. However, be aware that when the rack is loaded, with more than 2 or 3 bikes, it may not be easy to get the rack up and down with only one person. I emailed Allen about this question, and, technically, the rack is not designed to swing up and down 'fully loaded'. I've done it successfully with 3 or 4 bikes ... but needed help and struggled a bit getting the pin back in after swinging the rack back up. All told, this is an excellent rack and while you may like the more expensive ones for some reason, they all basically work the same. And the quality of this product (and the responsiveness of their customer service) is great. Yes.

If you can lift four bikes it is quite easy. Odd shaped bikes or kiddie bikes may present a problem. The tube adapter can be important for some bikes.

I only used mine with 3 bikes, but I had no problems with that. We went off road a bit too and everything was held in place swimmingly

Yes, but getting 5 bikes on it will be very difficult. I use the crossover bar then I'm able to have all bike at the same level so handle bars align perfectly; its the only way to get them all to fit.

I would say yes. I purchased this rack because it was the only one I could find that could carry 4 bikes and beach cruisers wide tires. I've been pretty happy with it other than its heavy and if you use it on a hatch back, you cannot open the door without taking the bikes off.

Not quite sure how much total weight it will hold - you will have to look at the company specs for that info. It did hold our two bikes (one mountain bike with rack & fenders & one hybrid type bike with rack) easily with no apparent problems. It's not easy, however, to mount two bikes on the rack.

I put two adult bikes in there with no problem, but depth-wise, it will not fit anymore - it's 30" deep. If you can fit two small bikes in the 72" length you would be alright but I believe it will not fit 3 bikes across. Keep in mind that the bikes don't stand up straight - they lean because of the kickstands. FYI I put a rubber matt on bottom to make sure the kick stands did not puncture the bottom.

we transported 5 bikes for summer vacation via 2010 honda pilot. (we had 2 adult and 3 kids bikes) not sure that answers your question, but i will say the rack was great and worked perfectly for us.
