However, like I said, sometimes when you get a lot of bikes loaded, they could shift around a lot, that could cause them to fall to the side of your vehicle, maybe scratch up the top right here, or even shift and scratch on each other.So with this, you just get that front tire over top of it and then use the included hook and loop strap to get it secured.
