ISO bike rack to hold 4 bikes. Planning on taking them to the beach this summer, so I want something that can hold everything in place for 6 hours on the interstate. Any suggestions?

thanks!

We got a Thule but haven't used it yet!

It might be the 914XT

We got one that just as a center bar, I was told by Performance it was the best model for kid size bikes. Love it still 3-4 years later.

We have a yakima. Got it as it was on sale, Thule was another option, just not on sale.

We got one that has a lock so you can lock it to your hitch, and then bought the locking kit to lock the bikes to the rack - you could use a bike chain and lock for that too.

DS's 16" won't fit on the rack, as the horizontal bar is too wide. We're going to make sure the next size up does fit.

We have this Allen one and really like it! It can swing out with the bikes on it which is ideal when you are traveling and need to get into the back of the SUV
