Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying 2 Bikes with 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch
Question:
Hello, Im looking for a bike rack for two bikes. I have a car with a 1- 1/4 in receiver. Also one of our bikes is a easy rider bike frame with plastic fenders. My family and I are stationed overseas with the military and need something that can be shipped to an APO address. Could you give me some recommendations? Thank you in advance. I have attached a bike that has a similar frame.

Bikes that have fenders and low crosstubes can pretty easily be carried with a hitch bike rack. You just have to go with either a frame mounted platform bike rack like the # HR200Z that has an arm that comes down and grabs the frame or use an adapter bar like part # UB01 with a hanging style bike rack like the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058.
Both of these racks are my favorite for carrying two bikes. They are our installer/demo guys favorite racks that are priced great and work really well. Both fit 1-1/4 inch hitches too.
I attached review videos for all three products mentioned as well.
