Okay, we have a new basement, that needed organizing, so I started with our bikes.

The box came quickly and I set it downstairs. No more than 10 minutes lapsed and my 7 year old son put the whole thing together. I put all the screws in and tightened them, but he did it himself and without the instructions! No kidding! Our bikes are all in order now and I smiled when I look at the rack! Have fun!

This products works great for our needs. We secured it to a wood deck and it made it very stable. I could see how it may slide around if not secured. Still a good item for the price.

I looked and a simple and cheap bike stand and this is exactly what I got.

It is very easy to assemble, very convenient to use (take the bike in and out)

This was delivered very fast and I love it. SOMEHOW I ordered 2 and did not realize this but was able to use both very effectively. EXCELLENT PRODUCT AT VERY REASONABLE PRICE

I had my doubts as I (easily) assembled this; it looked too big. And then I had more doubts when I first fitted the bikes into it; it looked too small. But after a couple of weeks of use, I think it’s “Just Right” – the kids (10-15) seem to be able to get their bikes in and out just fine, and that corner of the garage is no longer a messy jumble of bikes knocking each other over, which was the idea in the first place!

To start, this is a light weight product and certainly not something I expect to last for more than 5 or 6 years. That being said, it does just what I needed. I have 5 children and was tired of the bikes fallen on eachother constantly. This helps keep them upright and organized. I purchased two of these and the great part is that I could connect in such a way as to have 5 racks in a row on a single assembly. This also helps with the shifting, or lack thereof, that others have complained about because there’s a tad more weight and it rare when all 5 ride at the same time, so there’s almost always another bike in the rack to help hold it in place. If I planned on this being a more long term solution I would have “Hilty’d” it in place with brackets but I expect as the kids get older I’ll need to upgrade to something a bit more full-sized. Although until then I’m quite happy with this solution.

For anyone expecting a heavy duty long-term (even permanent) bike rack, please look at something else (like the 30lb to 70lb parking stands) and quit leaving poor feedback on an item that obviously won’t meet your needs. Like most things, you get what you pay for. You shouldn’t be expecting something like the kids use at school for $30 or less.

We got this bike rack for our 3 boys to store their bikes. The supports that go on either sides of the wheel are a little wobbly, but do their job. It has worked a lot better now that they have 20″ bikes. When they had smaller bikes, the front wheels didn’t fit into the holders.

There’s a good reason this rack is one of the cheapest available -it sucks. The wheel holders are designed so that the spokes rest against the rack, thereby placing all of the pressure on the spokes instead of the tires. This means that if someone were to bump into the bike while in the rack, or if the wind were to blow strongly, the weight of the bike would probably bend the spokes on the wheel.
