Can Girl Bikes be Carried on Curt Towing Bike Rack # C18013
Question:
We have a 2018 Subaru Forester, and your ETRAILER 3-bike rack looks like the perfect solution for carrying bikes while hauling a small trailer. But a Problem: Our bikes are old fashioned girls bikes. We dont have that upper horizontal brace that your video uses. Is that a deal-breaker?

Expert Reply:
What you'd need to carry your girl bikes with the Curt Towing Bike Rack part # C18013 is a bike frame adapter bar part # UB01. This adapter attaches to the bikes at the steering stem and seat post to give you a horizontal attachment point for the bike rack to attach to. This is a common problem that you have and this is the best solution for it.
I attached a review video for the adapter for you to check out as well.
