This is, without a doubt, the easiest bike rack to load/unload bikes.It is also more reasonably priced than the other brands. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't perfectly fit longer wheel-base bikes. We have Electra Townies, and they have a longer than normal wheel base because of the forward pedaling technology (which is awesome, by the way.) The bike shop guy put the rack's rear wheel 'wells' on backwards to accommodate the longer wheel base. That worked fine in my opinion, even though the rear wheels did not sit flat in the wells. We drove our bikes from MI to FL with no problems whatsoever. However, my husband was never comfortable with the wheels not fitting completely in the wells, so we got the Thule DoubleTrack last summer. It is more cumbersome to mount the bikes on the Thule rack, but they fit more secure in DH opinion. And the Thule has additional security features (for an additional cost, of course), so in that regard it's better. But all in all, I really miss the ease the Saris :( but I can 'visit' it down the street at my sister-in-law's house! If you have normal wheel-base bikes, this Saris is by far the easiest bike rack to use.Click Here to see more reviews about: SARIS BONES THELMA 2 BIKE HITCH RACK
Product Description:
She is as simple to use as she is stylish. As easy to install as she is to load. So your only workout is the ride, not racking your bike.

Bikes can be loaded and ready to go in less than two minutes and the entire rack can be installed or removed by just one person.
