Im planning on purchasing my bike rack when I go to Oregeon at the end of August (no sales tax!). But so far, Ive borrowed a Yakima swing away as well as the Thule. The Thule is a bit more pricier but it has fine tuned the minute details such as the hide-away cable lock. Something the Yakima doesnt have. But I rather save myself the $50 and just have the cable lock not in hide-away mode. The Yakima is cheaper, and sturdy. And when you swing it out (two adult bikes and a kids bike), it doesnt bend.. I think Im going to go with the Yakima.
