About Allen Bike Racks
In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family’s bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.

Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens’ tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick’s son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.

Perfrect solution for storage of multiple bikes. Easy to store 6 bikes without the trouble of getting them down from other ceiling mounted racks or hooks. Rack was easy to put together and well made.

I got the rack for our apartment building where all of the residents keep their bikes. The rack is very solid and has a nice finish. Setting it up was a snap. Just attach 6 bolts and you are done. You don't even need to read any instructions. I just ordered a second one for our building.

The product itself is of hih quality for sure. It is a good amount of money for a bike rack but should be around forever. I have 3 kids and 6 bikes in the gargae and needed something like this to contain all the bike mess as it is has become a almost obsession to keep my garage clean and organized. I had issues with shipping as it it seems like many did, the pieces of the rack came but no hardware. Contacted Allen who oapologized and sent them out.. Do not botehr calling Amazon directly unless you hae time to burn and want to achieve nothing.

Overall, ery good rack that plan to haveas the bikes get bigger and kids gets older. I could of gotton cheaper rack but did not want tthe rack to move each time a bike was placed in it, this will not happen with a 75 pound bike rack
