2 Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Electra Townies with Fenders and Balloon Tires
Question:
I need a hitch mount 2 bike rack for 2 bikes. The bikes I would need the rack for are Electra Townie with balloon tires and they have fenders. Please tell me what the best racks would be.

The best rack style for a bike like your Electra Townie that has fenders would be a platform bike rack that uses a hook to grab the frame of the bike and hold it to the rack.
One very popular option is the Saris Freedom part # SA4412B. And then for an adapter to allow the wider tires to fit on the rack you'd want the Fat Tire adapter part # SA4419.
