We got the bike in the rack installed on the Mazda's roof here to give you a nice idea of how everything looks installed. We can go ahead and dive into the details, but first, I'd just like to point out something that's often overlooked real fast, and that's the Mazda's trunk. There's plenty of clearance in between the rack and the bicycle, so it'll give you no issues there.Now, if you want to take a look at how the bicycle itself is secured to the rack, it's a very simple design. It's very easy to use. Simply the back tire is held on by this locking strap and the front is secured by this locking fork clamp. more

At the back you'll have this strap, it secures into the bracket right here, and release with the button. It also has a button on the other side, so if you've got a bike with taller wheels you can adjust it so that it sits a little higher. I don't if it's by design, or it just is a happy accident, but there's a hole on this side of the strap, and then a little notch on the other, so you can pull it down like that, which I think is kind of cool, it's kind of nice. It gives you a nice grip around the strap so you can get it on there pretty tight. more
