Will the Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack Work With Women's Bikes
Question:
I am very interested in buying your model 18065 hitch mounted bike rack but have a question. How would I load or tie down a women’s step thru bike where there is no top bar on the bike to attach straps to. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack part # C18065 will work with women's and kid's bikes for that matter which have an odd frame shape that consists of the lack of a horizontal top bar. That said, in order for the bikes to sit level and not have issues with contacting the ground you'll need an adapter bar for each of said bikes, the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # HRBA-PRO is cost effective.
