4.0 out of 5 stars pretty darn good!, October 10, 2008

By	Jorge Kruger "Swing Sultan" (NC, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed a 5 bicycle rack that could handle all our family bikes, including our 3 children's (5, 7 and 10 yrs. old) for our yearly vacation. This one seemed to be pretty versatile, not requiring additional bars for most bikes.
While it took some work to make all bikes fit just right (especially the little ones), we made the 4 hour trip to the mountains just fine; no excessive movement (though it does sway a little), no damage to the bicycles (I used pipe insulating foam tube pieces in a couple of spots where bikes rubbed each other) and an overall uneventful trip, even on some not-so-smooth roads. Getting the kids' bikes on was kinda tricky (the littlest one had to travel upside down!) but it worked out fine--I don't think it would have been so with some of the other 2-bar models.
However, if I had to load all 5 bikes on a regular basis I'd probably be looking for a different option. Also, something this rack (and most others too) could use is some kind of reflective finish on the end of the tube... can never be too safe!

5.0 out of 5 stars How could it be improved? It can't, June 17, 2009

By	Matthew "Dad of 4" (Tx) - See all my reviews

I have owned 2 bike racks. One was not worth anything, the other was difficult to use. This is the perfect rack.
1) Five bikes, few others do this.
2) The cradles are adjustable on angle with initial setup. This is the definitive factor! If you've never used a rack try to put bikes of different size and style if you don't have this feature. Just try...
3) The cradles are well designed, padded great, and can accommodate a large range of frame.
4) It folds down which is huge if you use a locking pin.

This is one of the best designed products I have used in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swagman 5 bike rack, May 7, 2007

By	Danielle Cummings - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very sturdy, heavy duty bike rack. Easy to use for most bike frames. I purchased this to replace the Yakima one I had with two arms. It is much easier to get a womens bike frame on the swagman one arm rack. Still needed to purchase a bar for my kids bike so they could be mounted to the rack. Swagman make one easy to use. I have been very pleased with this rack.
