We already have our bike installed on our rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features.

To do that, you come on the passenger side here at the mast, pull out the black T-handle, let it tilt away, and now we have full access to our rear hatch to get what we need, and plenty of space on either side to do so. We'll just push it back up into its original position until you hear a click like that. Some of the other features we have here, there are two reflective surfaces on the end here, as well as two points to attach any cable lock that you might want, to secure your bikes to the rack. The cradles are adjustable and have grooves on the side here so that your cables and things like that will actually go through those instead of being smashed by the frame. more
