Looking for a bike rack that does it all without the hassle? The Advantage glideAWAY2 deluxe four bike carrier is your answer.

 

The design allows for the bikes to remain on the rack while loading and unloading your gear or groceries in the rear cargo area of an SUV or bed of a pick-up. This patented product allows you to swing the rack out and away up to 23" giving you plenty of room to access the rear of the vehicle. Simply and easily load 1, 2, 3 or 4 bikes on the glideAWAY2 in the Advantage® saddles with extra-long straps that hold the bikes securely without scratching the bikes finish. The rear mount design eliminates overhead lifting and increases fuel economy when compared to roof-mounted bike racks.
