Can someone tell me how far the bikes stick out with 4 adults & 1 kids mountain bike attached? I plan to mount this on the back of my 06 Oddysey.

I have driven a full size van for years, packed to gills for vacation. I utilize the side mirrors a lot, that farm background comes in handy. This was the second bike rack I bought, and I love it! It feels very secure and I only had to tighten the straps once in a 12 hour drive, that says a lot! And again it was on vacation, so couldn't see out back window anyway. I did get Velcro straps and that was wonderful. It helped secure bikes when stacking them together. Those are a must have! Enjoy the biking. Great family activity.

OK, the most we've had on the carrier is a tandem, and 3 adult bikes. The bikes hang well, though there is some jiggling with all the pedals and handle bars. The arm's say they are 26 inches long, and you have to add your hitch and I would say then add 1/2 the length of your handle bar of the last bike loaded. I was able to use a long cable to lock all the bikes to the carrier for the trip. I also used a locking hitch pin for added security while in restaurants. We did a 12 hour drive without a problem. Hope this helps, but I've never measured or found this to be a problem. We had them on the back of a 09 Subaru Tribecca. OK, the most we've had on the carrier is a tandem, and 3 adult bikes.

We fit kids', women's and a men's mountain bike on ours with just a little work to get them on. Once I figured out how to best get them on, they were secure for the entire trip.

Ooooo!!! I like your bike!!! I have what I believe to be a very common setup. I think my bar is 1". The unit fits my bar but the bike shop took it off when I took it in for servicing and I havent bothered to put it back on. Have just ordered more comfortable grips so the cruise probably wont be missed.

I was able to mount mine and my daughter's without a problem. I love this bike rack. Best thing we have bought in a long time.

Yes, it will fit 2 adult mountain bikes just fine. That is what I use it for.

I have kids bikes that look like motocross bikes. They don't have accessible center bars. The 4 bikes went on easily. After a little adjusting for the wheel location. The smallest I used was a 16 inch.

We have 4 bike on ours and it is not to bad. Our bikes are light. It would depend on how you hang them.

I have not. I am guessing you need to know how far out from the hitch the rack ends so from the pin to the end of the rack is 38.5". Your last bike will be centered 3" inboard or at w= 35.5". You can figure out where the handlebars end. The length will be determined by you bikes which will extend beyond the rack as I'm sure you know. Hope this helps!

There is an add on bar that you need for women's bikes, it works great. Haven't tried kids bikes though. I mostly haul my mountain bike and it's extremely sturdy on there. For really long trips I Bungy the lower frame to the trail hitch.

It can probably hold 3 children's bikes. With 2 adult bikes on I doubt it can hold another. I holds 2 adult bikes just fine.

They would not be in the way. I put 3 bikes on it. I never have any issues. The distance is 12-14 inches long. Hope it helps.

My wife's bicycle hanging just fine. Little crooked but stable. Same with my son's mounting bike

The bikes mount vertical and it's for 2 bikes. I had it on my RV and it worked well for me.

I've been able to put up an adult bike and a child's bike on the rack. It's held them for several days. I believe there is a weight limit but I no longer have the box so I don't know what it is.

No problem! I carry my mountain bike (28" wheels) and my grand daughter's bike (20" wheels) on the back of my travel trailer and the back of my truck. I did have to play around with the spacing of the wheel carriers, the hold downs on the vertical bar and moving the bikes front to back to get the best fit. My biggest challenge was fitting the bike pedals around the spare tire on the trailer. If I was just using the rack on my truck, it would have taken 5 minutes. Rick
