Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack that is Easy to Load a Woman's Townie Bike
Question:
I had another style, and it was not usable unless I bought an adapter bar. I also am short, female, and have shoulder issues when lifting up to get it on my 2014 Santa fe Sport two people put the bike rack in, and then wrestled with the bike only to find out when I got it into the shop that my Townie girls bike with fenders and a rack above the back fender wouldnt work without an adapter. Its a great time to get a new rack, and they recommended the Saris Freedom not sure which one, but dont need to move more than two at a time, I wouldnt think I understand it would be easier to install on hitch, lower to ground, and would handle Townies without adapter bars. What are your thoughts, and which one? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Platform style bike racks are easier to load. The Saris Freedom # SA4412B does have a significant rise in the shank that makes the platform higher up than other platform style racks (8 inches from the top of the receiver opening to the bottom of the tray portion of the rack). But the rack is light weight, only 22-1/2 pounds, and would work well for you. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
