The hitch insert--which fits 1-1/4- and 2-inch receiver hitches--is easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Just attach it to your hitch, then use the tie-down cradle system to individually secure and protect the bikes. The carry arm accommodates a wide range of frame sizes and designs, so you can carry your kid-size mountain bike or adult road bike with equal confidence. And you don't have to remove your bikes to access the back of your truck or SUV, as the rack tilts back for easy lift-gate access and folds out of the way completely when not in use. Also equipped with a no-wobble bolt to keep the rack from moving inside the hitch, the two-bike carrier is colored with a black powder-coated finish.
About Allen Bike Racks Started out of founder Dick Allen's garage in 1967, Allen Sports is committed to producing the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike, parking, and storage racks on the market. Dick Allen, a onetime aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts, shop in his free time. The bike enthusiast tested the trunk-mounted carrier--made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding)--on weekend excursions. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to consumers, moving from local to national sales by 1971. Today, the company owns more than three dozen patents and operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and sells products in more than a dozen countries around the world.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Sturdier than expected
I didn't expect this bike carrier to be as robust and strong as it is.
I mounted 2 bikes on a trip back from Biloxi, MS to Tampa Bay, FL and each time I gassed up, I checked the bikes to make sure they were still there. I was surprised to see that the carrier hadn't become even a little loose or even the straps that hold the bikes hadn't come loose either.
One issue that I did notice which you should be aware of,.....because of different bike frames these days, the bike sitting closest to the trailer (the inside bike) may suffer some scratches from the swiveling part of the carrier. There is just enough metal contact on the bike that the road bumps would have scratched the paint off the bike, therefore I placed a small rag towel in between, to keep them from coming into contact.
Other than that, I HIGHLY recommend this carrier for 2 bikes.
I would suggest also getting the girls' bike adapter bar so the girl's bike you may have on there doesn't look like it's...

It's cool for what I need it for...
Received and started putting together... the bottom peice (actual receiver part), the holes did not match up with the holes on the rack peice, I had to drill them bigger to be able to put the bolts through. Once all together it works fine. I wish there was a better way to lock it to my hitch, I have a hitch lock but it didn't fit through the bike rack part, they provide a bolt and nut that needs to be screwed together everytime you are going to use and remove the bike rack. But without that bolt the entire bike rack is moving from side to side. I guess I will keep my wrenches in the car.
Allen hitch bike rack for two
This is a great bike rack. I wanted a hitch bike rack to keep the rack away from the paint on my Camry. The bike installs easy. Its robust. I use it for my Giant XTC980 mountain bike once a week. The only issue I have is that the rack doesn't lock to your hitch. It is held on by a nut and bolt meaning someone could steal it.
