"I have been an avid bike rider for over forty years. I usually ride my bike to the trails that I want to ride on, however, after nearly being hit on three occasions by drivers who are texting or talking on their cell phones while (not) driving their cars, I decided it was time to get a rack and drive to the bike trails. The Thule bike rack is really easy to use, one hand flip down or up for easy loading of bikes. The only recommendation that I would have is for the rack to have a locking bolt so that it would not be available for theives to steal with one twist of a wrench."

"As you would expect, the Thule company has designed and engineered an excellent product. The Roadway 4-bike rack is solid, simple to install, and works perfectly to allow access to the back door of the car."

"Even with the two smallest bikes packed inside the car, we weren't sure that the strap-based rack was going to make it to our destination with the 3 bikes that it was carrying (much less the loooooong trip home). We saw a number of hitch mount racks on our drive down so decided to call around once we arrived. Bottom line: nobody had or could get a 5-bike rack in a reasonable time frame. AutoAnything to the rescue! Great price (even with priority shipping). Fantastic rack. Strong and sturdy enough for all FIVE bikes. Conveniently folds down to get into the rear hatch. Highly recommended product."

"Its a nice rack...I had my old thule rack and it never needed to be fixed. I expect the same from this one. It's a little expensive, but worth it"

"This rack is awesome. It was very easy to install, and extremely tight and not wobbly as was another brand I had tried previously to the Thule. I am very impressed how well it works on my car. I can open my trunk with bikes loaded on it."

"wanted a bike rack that with a lift of the built in lever drops the rack so I could have complete access to the back of my Chevy Tahoe. The installation took minutes. The bikes were no problem to mount. No wabble on highway. Rack was recieved within 2 days including free shipping. All in all meet and exceeded every expectation!"

"It took less than 30 minutes to install and was well worth the investment. The rack is very well built and allows for a variety of bike sizes. It's better suited for larger bikes as they fit quick easy…I have two small kids so you need to reconfigure the support pads but after a few minutes off repositioning, you’re racked and ready to travel. I’d recommend to anyone who is traveling long distances, as you can’t beat the durability. Rhode Island"

"Solid, well made product. Easy to assemble, install and remove (a tool is included). Good access to rear of vehicle. Clever system for strapping bikes to the rack. Good value, don't feel like I'm paying for the Thule name. Only criticism is how the rack attaches to the hitch. Unit comes with a bolt, requiring the supplied tool or a wrench for removal. I would prefer to be able to use my own pin, clip and lock. It would be easy to supply the rack with an extra pair of holes for this purpose. TR doesn't provide a rating between good and excellent so I rounded up, but if they did I would rate this unit "very good". The attachment system is the only thing that keeps it from being excellent in every way."
