Is There Enough Room to Carry Two Mountain Bikes with a Hitch Bike Rack on a 1997 Honda Civic
Question:
Ive only used one rack other than the roof rack I had in the past and remember the 2 bike rack really couldnt fit 2 mtn bikes on without them rubbing against each other, therefore messing up the paint job on the bikes. Is there really enough room for 2 mtn bikes? Thanks in advance. :

Many of the hitch bike racks I have available are able to carry two mountain bikes and not have a problem with them rubbing against each other.
The Kuat Folding 2 Bike Aluminum Bike Rack, part # B202-114 will have anti-sway cradles that will accept bike frames up to 3 inches in diameter. The top strap on the anti-sway cradles will hold the top tube of the bike frame to the bike rack and the bottom strap will attach to the down tube of the bike frame and keep the bike from swaying and hitting the other bike on the rack.
