Could it be used to carry bikes? Is there space for the tires to slide down between bars to offer a stable fit? Trying to multitask as fugally as possible :)

I'm sorry I can't answer that, I loaned it to a friend for their vacation. So I don't have at this time. I have used it a lot however not for bikes. I am so glad I bought it its very sturdy.

Not recommended, the spaces between the bars are too wide for the wheels of a bicycle

You'd have a hard time keeping bikes on this rack. It's excellent for cargo (boxes, luggage, coolers), but I would not recommend it for bikes.

You're probably good to go with a suspended rack IF you have a fender over your rear wheel. The bike frame plus the fender mounts will likely keep this bag away from your spokes.

Definitely not. It barely supports a heavy mountain bike. The tires will not spin,you'd end up riding out of it.

I don't think it will work as well. it won't grip the smaller tire and hold the bike upright unattended. it will still serve as a good front wheel chock.

I'm not sure it would be stable enough for four bikes. Aside from that even if you put bikes across from each other your handlebars would not have space. So i'd say no.

I can't imagine why it would not fit. The tire racks themselves, are adjustable so it can accommodate a variety of sizes. The only thing we found is, if carrying two bikes, we need to turn the pedals of the bikes opposite each other.

No. I don't think so! Certainly not adult bikes, you'll need a bike rack for safe transport of bikes! And NO, it doesn't fold, however, you can get a hitch extension with a pivot arm that might do, depending upon the vehicle and what your needs are!

It will be very uncomfotable to load the bikes. Technicali i dont see a problem if you have space on your rack but very unconvenient and i strongly dont reccomand

I suppose it could, its certainly not the intended purpose. You might be better off looking for hitch mounted bike rack. Weight capacity varies according to your vehicle.

When I have used the carrier it had ample space to carry two adult bikes, a kid's bike, and another smaller bike with training wheels. I would think it is wide enough to accomodate your needs.

I would say yes. But thereafter, you will not me able to place a bike on the inside rack. There won't be room with the trunk tire and all. One bike only.

Hi Dave. I think it would work well for bike commuting. Using the side straps and buckles you can make it very compacted. If you use the waist buckle it will hold it to your back.

I have a 29" bike but not with large tires. I am skeptical that it will work the way it should for you. I might look at some other models although most everything else is more expensive. I would probably not buy this rack again.

No problem! I carry my mountain bike (28" wheels) and my grand daughter's bike (20" wheels) on the back of my travel trailer and the back of my truck. I did have to play around with the spacing of the wheel carriers, the hold downs on the vertical bar and moving the bikes front to back to get the best fit. My biggest challenge was fitting the bike pedals around the spare tire on the trailer. If I was just using the rack on my truck, it would have taken 5 minutes. Rick

Not sure, but I'd say probably not, as it does not have any vertical supports connecting the rack itself to the rear wheel axle, as some do. Without those supports, it appears the pannier bag, especially when loaded, could easily sag inward into the spokes of the wheel behind the rear frame member of the bike. Aside from that, the rack would be strong enough, it just doesn't have the protection the vertical supports would otherwise provide to keep the bottom of the bags out of the spokes. I don't know anything about panniers except what I can see on the Amazon listings, so I don't know if they have some sort of internal structure that keeps the bags apart without the aid of a prop from a rack support, but I can't see this being the case. If they do, then this rack would do fine with them, but, like I say, I don't know about that part of it; sorry.

The carrier is large... If the bike rack is large enough to support it is the question... We had to connect a small board across our scooter rack so the carrier didn't shift and slide to the side. This solved the problem for us, and we use it quite often.

It might be possible, but I would not recommend it. The hooks curve upward only slightly below the bend to permit them to slip under the seat and the handlebar. Raising the bicycle creates a small tension between the two hooks which holds the bike in place. If you were to hang it from a single hook attached to one of the tires, it would be precariously unstable, I would think. Perhaps you could make a sling of some time to secure it better, but I think there is probably a better solution.
