This bike carrier is much better than the other 2-4 bike styles and roof racks. Loading bikes is quick, and removing the rack it fast too. It does allow you to get in the back of the van while loaded. We added the extension to make it a 4-bike. We have it on a Honda Odyssey.

These are a little hard to get out. I have to jiggle for a while. But what a great idea! And once in they work flawlessly.

This 4 bike is better than other styles I have used. Better than roof racks, better than the pole type. Main advantage is quick load and unload, and access to the back of the van when loaded. It is quick and easy to load the bikes. The add on makes the whole unit a little on the heavy side. I think my wife could not install it or lower it to get into the back when the bikes are on. If you have a friend to help install and lower the rack it is really fast. If someone determined wanted to steal the add-on with the back two bikes locked on they could, given time. But they would be moving slow carrying it all and have to cut the bikes off some how. Probably not worth it for them.

The lock helps prevent problems with the bolt coming lose and also gives peace of mind against theft of the carrier.
