New bike rack question June 27, 2003, 05:12:01 pm Yahoo Message Number: 23889I'm trying to decide on the type of bike rack to get. I want to carry two bikes, one a women's style without straight cross bar. I've looked at the Swagman 3 bike hitch model (64150) and it seems to be sturdy and easy to use. I would probably need to buy a cross bar adaptor for the woman's bike. I've also looked at ladder mount types but have not heard how they work. Does anyone have experience with either? I will be getting a 26.5 MB next month or so.Lucy

Been there and now use a sturdy receiver monted carrier. Jack in Reno
