Solid Entry-level 2-Bike Hitch Carrier

Designed for durable entry-level use, the Parkway 2-Bike Hitch Carrier accommodates up to two bikes utilizing an the user's existing 2 inch hitch receiver at the tail end of your vehicle. (1¼ hitch receivers are not supported) The Parkway 2-Bike carrier is incredibly strong, stable and full featured, with durable high-strength steel construction and varied standard components, including: rubberized carrier arm cradles that prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact which dramatically reduces the chance of scratches to vehicles and bikes and compatibility with certain locking systems (sold separately). These locking systems include: the Snug-Tite receiver lock, which virtually eliminates hitch rack movement in receiver and locks the hitch rack to the vehicle and Thule's 6 ft. Braided Steel Cable # 538, which locks bikes to the carrier.

In addition, when not loaded with bikes the Parkway 2-Bike Hitch Carrier has the convenient ability to tilt its upright structure away from the vehicle that it is mounted on. Users simply need to remove the tethered safety pin and gently lower the entire upright assembly of the carrier to a built-in stopping position in the form of an angled contour at the outward end of the stinger component. This easy functionality allows for hatch or tailgate access (bikes must be removed first) and means that you can get to every corner of your vehicle when you want to, without having to remove the carrier. Also impressive is the Parkway's quick installation procedures. With significantly few parts to assemble than other carriers in its class and requiring only user-supplied socket and adjustable wrenches, the Parkway can be installed in no time at all by just about anyone, and removed just as easily.

About Thule

Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
