How do Bikes Attach to the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier # S80600
Question:
I dont understand how the top of the bike is secured so that it will not fall over. There does not appear to be any type of structure such as an upright bar to tie the bikes to. Please clarify for my understanding. Thanks.

There is an upright bar on the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack # S80600 for bikes to attach to. If you check out the picture I attached you will see it.
Here is what the installation instructions say about attaching bikes to this rack:
For your safety and the safety of others while traveling, the bike(s) MUST BE secured with BUNGEE CORDS OR STRAPS NOT SUPPLIED with this rack. It is recommended to secure the bike(s) to the safety chain plate holes of a hitch or any other permanent fixture of your vehicle or towed (bumper, tow hook, frame, etc.). Suggested securing materials include trailer towing safety chains, steel cables and other materials of equivalent strength and durability. These materials should be at both ends and loop through the bike(s) to secure them, in the event that the bike(s) become dislodged from the carrier during travel. In the unlikely event that this occurs, by following these instructions, the bike(s) will remain attached to the vehicle or trailer.
I also attached a link to the installation instructions for this rack for you to check out.
