Subject:      LVC - Yakima Full Swing Bike rack write up
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hey Folks

I picked up a Yakima Full swing bike rack just before my trip out west. I put pics of the rack and its operation on the van blog

http://motsvan.blogspot.com/

Overall - I think the rack is Excellent. The swing away feature is invaluable. Even when i am sure I am finished in the hatch area - I find myself back in there 3-4 times after loading up the bikes. A very solid rack that holds up to four bikes securely. A built in lock feature will lock down the 4th bike for theft prevention. [ Not helpful if you are carrying only one bike..]

The rack worked perfectly with the Dennis Haynes Hitch. [ 2" receiver ]

Prices online range around $380 - $450 but after shipping - i found it at my local bike shop cheaper...
