Description

The Thule Parkway Bike Rack makes loading up for adventure easy. So easy, in fact, it folds down for complete access of your rear cargo area without having to dismount your bikes or the rack.

Strap up to 4 bikes into the Parkway's classic cradles. They're padded to protect your paintjob from knicks and scratches while you motor down to the trailhead. When you need to get at that cooler, gear bag or (more likely) first aid kit, just pull the pin to fold the Parkway down.

The Thule Parkway Bike Rack mounts right to 1 1/4" or 2" receivers. You can pick from either the 2-bike (Thule 958) or 4-bike (Thule 957 and Thule 956) rack. Thule includes a ratcheting tie-down strap for more secure travels. All hardware is included for quick assembly. Thule even backs your Parkway Bike Rack with a Lifetime Warranty.

I like the quality of the bike rack butit could be improved with two minor adjustments. 1. Use a cotter pin to attached to receiver instead of a bolt for easier on and off the car. 2. Use a cotter pin instead of a bolt to lower top part of rack that the bikes hang on when not using. You need to carry tools to make that happen when a simple cotter pin would so much easier.

I can sit in my car while my 16 year old grandson loads his bike on knowing my car will not be scratched & the bike will be secure. It was simple to install & if I need to get in the back of my vehicle it takes less than a minute to bend it down out of the way!! Thank's for making my life a little easier.

this rack works as designed. if the top bar would fold down without removing a bolt, it would be more convenient. Overall, pleased with the bike rack.

I had to be very careful what I bought for a bike rack because all my bikes are mongoose dual suspension but this rack works perfectly for that! We put this behind my dad's 2010 Outback and it rides like a dream! I ordered 2 items from AutoAnything and they gave me the best price and free shipping! My 1st item arrived 1 day after ordering and my 2nd item came on day 2!!

Simple to assemble and attach/detach. Does the job it was designed to do, gets out of the way when not needed. Who could ask for anything more?

I expected the bike rack to allow me to slide my lockable hitch bolt through the rack to allow a greater strength and security connection. I don't trust 1 bolt going HALF way through the hitch and therack to hold my bikes on a road trip. I am unhappy with this bike rack.

Love the rack. Holds all four of our bikes in nice & sturdy while traveling. Love that we can manipulate the straps to grap on where we need them too-esp since one of our bikes is a toddler bike. Only disadvantage is that the bikes have to be off the rack in order to get to the trunk. Good value for the price.

I bought this rack for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it the only thing is that it does not include the lock for it so we had to go to sports chalet and buy one.. Only downfall!
