I bought the 3 bike with that specific idea (spacing out two bikes) but
folding the rack up is much more difficult with the 2 upper supports vs the
single. The 2 bike version has three spliney parts with two smooth areas
for folding the legs, the 3 bike only has two splines and one smooth
I definitely +1 the Saris bones although I'd say get the 3 bike rack
instead of the 2 as it's almost the same size and you can space your bikes
out a little more. Completely OT, I do not recommend the crosstrek, it's
not the best of an impreza+forester it's the worst of both. Bad handling +
Hi all,
Likely not a good choice for Joel, since he's mentioned only needing
occasional use, but I thought I'd mention a rack that appears to fill a
unique niche in the marketplace and was the only cost effective solution I
found for my rack needs ... The Thule Raceway Platform PRO 2 is a
I too use and like the saris bones on my wife’s car. I like it just fine. I’ve
never had an issue. I got it used for next to nothing. My only recommendation
with any of these types of racks would be to use a few pieces of clear bra, or
helicopter tape to protect the car paint.

To be clear, I was speaking about the Saris Bones. Haven't used it yet.

Thanks Edwin, and they really work well? The low price kind of scared me.

I see at least one or more a week on Craigslist in the $40 range. I bought
mine there for $40 (I don't know the retail) for when I rent a car and want
to bring my bike. That's what the police for here in Philadelphia uses for
their bike patrol bikes.
Dave--I bought the one with the four legs
Saris bones is the best I have seen for a rack that goes back and forth
between cars, if you have space to store it in between uses.
For folidng up and leaving in the trunk, I got one of these for my wife's
car in case I meet her somewhere and it is a long way back:
Thanks Dave, that is another on my list.

Saris Bones is my favorite. We have the 2 and the 3. The 2 with the 3
legs is easier to use/install but I was frustrated with the middle leg
(bone?) blocking my rear wiper so I go the 3 which has two outboard legs.
Wiper still hits 'em so I just went back to the 2.

I have a Yakima Halfback on my Honda Civic sedan. I've been looking into
buying a Crosstrek and read that it will fit that vehicle as well. I is
very solid and it's easy to secure the bike to it. The bike and rack do not
move around once everything is secured on the car. It folds up very nicely
