Two Bike Rack for a Recumbent and Hybrid Bike Types
Question:
I need to carry a recumbent and a hybrid bike. Both have 43 Inch wheel base. Recumbent has a 16 inch wide seat back. Is there enough clearance between the two bikes to accommodate the seat width of the recumbent?

Expert Reply:
There is a solution but I do not think the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Platform Rack part # TH92BJ will have a wide enough base to handle the seat width.

Item # S64650-EXT is designed specifically for this need. It will also work out perfectly fine with a standard hybrid type of bike frame.
