How easy is it to put on/take off your bike? Is it something that needs to stay on the bike always?

Takes a few minutes of course, but it's fairly simple to put on and take off. I choose to leave it on as my 4-legged friend usually goes with me. We start out with me peddling a speed that's comfortable for him to run (he's on a leash), then when he starts slowing down I pop him in the basket and he rides happily.

Very easy. No need to screw anything on or anything like that. Only thing holding it on your bike are basically 2 straps.

Not really. Once you put it on you kinda wanna keep it on. Will break pretty easily if you frequently take it off.

It's fairly easy. The most difficult part for me was mounting the handle bar...all the cables are installed, but you have twist it around just right so the cables are not kinked.

It's attached by velcro straps. Very easy to put on & take off. You can attach it anywhere on your bike.

No, it is really easy to take off. The wire is attached to the base of the unit which the computer twists in and out of. It actually comes out so easy that I accidentally knocked it to the ground my first ride. I wasn't very careful taking it off.

Yes there's was a quick release or you could use the clip that comes with it to stow it and just leave it on the bike.

as long as you don't overload it as it is quite big and gets heavy fast. but depending on your personal strength it does come off the bike easy. (assuming its empty or in weight range)

Very easy. It's a flexible "plastic" like material. I take mine off regularly also for the same reason, and I haven't had any problems so far.

Unit comes with a very nice click on click off mount that actually works and keep the unit tightly in place when you use it on the bike. You will be please with the mount.

No, you have to put it on and take it off each time you use it. It is so easy that it isn't that big of a deal though.

I take it off between uses. It is so easy to put on and off, I dont know why you'd leave it on. I just leave the whole setup in my car in the box so It's always available. For rides, I take it off and put it in my car to avoid theft.

Not really. It's cumbersome to take on and off so I understand why you might want to keep the seat post attachment on. I live in NYC and keep the attachment on. To deter theft from that, I epoxied a bb (small metal balls) into the hex nut holes. But the surfboard rack themselves is another story. I doubt you want to keep those on your bike at all times, but it's less of a pain to remove those. Sorry. Hope it helps

Attaching the handlebar legs is very easy, the only thing you'll need is a little room while attaching them when the rebounder is on its side.I do not store mine, yet I use it everyday. Personally I would find constant attaching and removal of the bar a hassle, yet it would be easy to do.

We've had ours on the bike since December, it's pretty secure. I don't believe it will tilt or fly off.

Not difficult at all. The friction fit is enough to keep it on, but not so tight that is difficult to get off. I've been very happy with it.

The hooks you see at the back hooks onto the handlebars and the bottom of the hook attachment rests against the bike frame. It is very easy to take off, so my daughter has a little cable with a lock to keep it from being stolen.

it's a pretty heavy install, i think it would be difficult to take them on/off every time you wanted to use them. that said, they are pretty heavy and do make your bicycle a good bit heavier. i have them on a commuter bike and love them for grocery store trips, picnic trips to the park, etc.
