    Hitch mounted bike racks

    i've had the yakima swingdaddy for about 2-3 years. fits well. very sturdy. there might be a lil bit of movement when driving as with most bike racks, but only .5-1 inch i think. if you need pictures, i get post some once i get home. Yakima › Shop › Bike › Hitch › SwingDaddy (2" receivers only)
