Subject:      Trailer hitch and bikes
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Hi everyone.  Kids bikes are getting bigger and I’m now needing to carry four bikes on the back. I have a trailer hitch on the van now, installed by the PO over 30 years ago. I had three on the rack last week and used straps to take some of the weight off the hitch.  Wondering if the GoWesty hitch is appropriate for four adult bikes?  Is there a better option out there?

Thanks
Jeff
