Very happy with my Saris Bones, 2 bike version. Fits easily and quickly.

This might be just what I'm after, been trying to find a suitable 2 bike rack for ages. Some questions if I may,

a) How easy/quick is it to fit when needed?
b) How secure is it once fitted? (I'm guessing you car is also a fairly hard ride)

It's exactly the same one I've got (although with two hooks instead of three). It's quite adaptable. You can angle the three main sections any way you want to suit a number of different car shapes.

Goes on very quick. I think maybe even less than a minute from holding it in your hand to attaching. Almost certainly no more than 2 minutes.

I'm always anxious with this sort of thing, but it seems really secure. I got some velcro strips to put round the wheels to stop them spinning or the front moving and it seems very solid. I used it for a 160 mile trip, no issues.

Thanks, will try and get myself one ordered!
