Can Womens Bike Be Carried On Hitch Mounted Platform Bike Carrier

Question:

do you sell Hitch Bike Racks for female bikes no center bar? I only see bike racks for male bikes.

The bike carriers we offer are able to carry bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes and women's bikes.

Platform bike carriers like part # S64670 will many times use a telescoping hook on the mast that allows them to hold women's bikes at a lower point on the frame.

Hanging bike carriers are a different story. We recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches to the seat post and the handlebar stem and lets you carry the bike level in the carriers.

You can use an adapter bar when placing a women's bike in a platform rack like part # S64670 so that the center hook holds the bike steady.
