I spent 30 minutes in the parking lot trying to figure out how to get this rack just right; It never happened...The directions tell you to push in the red buttons and adjust the rack. The problem is that there is no locking mechanism to keep the rack upright. I wound up scratching up my trunk while the bikes dangled there. The design doesn't make sense. By the way I work as a mechanical engineer, and this one puzzled me as to what I was doing wrong. I would buy a different one with a more secure design.

I not only use it for my bike, I also dragged a heavy piece of exercise equipment 30 miles home on it.

Easy to set up, sturdy, this is absolutely worth the money. Nicer than my Mom's, and she paid over $100 for hers.

I really wish I would have just paid an extra $20 or $30 and gotten something better. This is a tight fit for 2 bikes, unless you want them right up against your car scratching your paint off. The directions were OK (the bars are almost all the same size - they should have labeled them with a number to refer to them when learning to set this up easier). Even when I have the straps pulled really tight, my bike still bounces around quite a bit, but it hasn't come too loose while driving yet. The plastic coating the hooks came off on one of them after the FIRST use(I only drove 75 miles!), and ended up scratching my trunk up A LOT.
I'm definately returning this and getting a better quality bike rack. Think about it - if you spend hundreds of dollars on a bike, why skimp on a rack that is the only thing seperating your bike from being destroyed from hitting the pavement going 60 mph? Just save the hassle and disappointment and get a better quality rack.

This bike rack is very clumsy and kind of a pain to use but my biggest complain is that it damaged my car's paint. Would NOT recommend!
