You will get a set of keys with your bike rack in order to unlock the cable, thus unload your bikes.On the other arm, we're going to have a Yakima bottle opener.Our cradles are going to be stationary. However, they do have this nice rubber TPE padding, which means these little notches right here are going to act as shock absorbers for your bike frame while you're traveling to help protect it from any damage.Our bike's going to be secured at 3 points of contact. more

If we look at the cradles, we're going to see this nice rubber TPE padding. Now, what that's going to do is the TPE padding is going to act as a shock absorber for the frame of our bike during travel and it's going to protect it from any type of scratches or abrasions.These cradles are stationary, meaning they don't move side to side, or up and down the bike rack.If we look at our bike, we're going to see it secured at three different points of contact. We're going to have these two ZipStrips on the top of our bike frame securing them into the cradles. If we come down here, we're going to see this anti-rattle cradle. Now, when the ZipStrip is securing the frame of our bike into the anti-rattle cradle, that's going to prevent our bike from swaying too much during travel, preventing any vehicle to bike contact, or bike to bike contact if you have two installed.Up here, we're going to see this strap we have securing the front wheel of our bike to the frame of our bike. more
