Thule Parkway Bike Rack Customer Reviews
93 Customer Reviews
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. What's more, Thule builds your Parkway Bike Rack in the USA and backs it with a Lifetime Warranty.
Our 80+ Thule Parkway Bike Rack customer reviews have an average rating of 4.50 out of 5 stars. To see specific reviews about your vehicle, please select your year, make and model from the drop down above.

The rack was tightened up with a locking bolt into a Curt hitch 2" receiver from AutoAnything for a 2011 Toyota Sienna and was so solid there was no movement on a highspeed 1200 mile trip to Florida and back. The bikes added no side sway and I had to look in the mirror to remember they were there. I modified the rack to add several locking pins for security. Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased.

Certain this was mentioned before on the reviews to use a cotter pin to attached to receiver instead of a bolt for easier on and off the car. Maybee they should bundle the hitch lock as a protional item?) and to use a cotter pin instead of a bolt to lower top part of rack that the bikes hang on when not using

This is my first bike rack ever, so I don't have a lot of experience to compare it to, but it works great. The only thing I found is that the rubber tie down straps can be a little stiff, thus hard to attach, but then, they really need to be so they don't come off easily. So, its just fine.

Excellent rack but lacks folding feature for arms. This could be easily remedied by adding a removeable bolt at the top of the vertical instead of the fixed bolt as supplied. To get this feature you need to upgrade and pay considerably more.

We are a family of four so we needed a sturdy bike rack for four bikes.I did alot of research on bike racks and read alot of reviews and made the choice to go with the Thule Parkway.I had the bike rack in just a few days and the installation couldn't have been easier. We are very happy with the choice we made.

we are attempting to find a 2-bike rack for a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder (4-door) SUV. The car has a tow bar but not the hitch (ball). Can you help with recommendations on products you have in stock that would fit?
