Yakima Bike Rack:Bikes Are Safe

| May 21, 2011

Traveling is just one sure way to relieve stress. It is just right to take a break and to have time for yourself, especially if the things at home or at work become really unbearable. Our resources have to be restored because through doing it we will be able to regain the needed energy to face things again.

If you take your time to travel, you wouldn’t want to just stay indoors all day, would you? Of course, you would want to go out and explore everything new. And one way to do this is biking. Through it, you can save time and you will be able to cover greater distances and you also get to enjoy more scenery too. But the problem now is this: how are you going to bring your bike with you?

I also had to answer the same question not too long ago. The first idea that i entertained was just to put my bicycle on the back seat. But as you could have imagined by now, that really took too much space that I really had to consider leaving my things behind. Good thing I thought of bike racks just before I started to unload a couple of things. Not that I only knew of bike racks just then. I’ve had some experience with some but they just break so easily. So I was vigilant when I started looking for a good one to use. It is then that I came across the Yakima Bike Rack.

This bike rack was just very good and the things said about it were really proven to be true. I was really confident that my bike will be safe and sound even if I go through rough terrains. The Yakima bike rack is just made of the most durable materials and its design really is just right. And because of that, I knew that there won’t be any scratch on my bike even if the rides gets bumpy and shaky as my bike will surely be held very securely.

Now, if I sound so pro-yakima, it’s because I really am. I am just one of the individuals in their endless list of their satisfied customers. So, if you are at this very moment looking for something to use on your trips, it is highly recommended that a Yakima bike rack will be used. It is just deserving of 4.8 stars out of five!

Yakima Bike Rack DoubleDown 4 – Doubling The Bike For Half The Rack

| October 16, 2010

There is nothing more unattractive than a back of a car that is dishevelled, shrunken, scratched and worn because of a rather malfunctioning bike rack hanging on its back. Not only does the bad rack damage your car, it also harms the overall state of being of your very own bikes that sit on top of it.

 

Yakima has seen far too damage in both sides of the rack and has decided to improve by trying and keeping the bikes and cars scratch-free, safe and shiny simultaneously. With years of producing biking equipment under their belt, the company has more than enough knowledge to be able to cater to the needs of this dilemma.

 

With this, Yakima introduces the new Yakima Bike Rack DoubleDown 4, which carries bikes along the backside of your car, and tries to keep both parties looking new most of the time. Interested? Read on to find out more.

 

The item would offer the following features: It can hold up to 5 bikes, it is compatible with 2 inch and 1.25 inch hitch receivers, it tilts away for rear of vehicle access, it has a standard SwitchBlade anti sway cradles to eliminate bike-to-bike contact, and it also has a narrower arms fit wide variety of bike frames.

 

Right out of the box, your new Yakima Bike Rack DoubleDown weighs in the scale at 25 pounds, which is pretty much the average you can expect for products of this segment of the market.

 

Not only does the Yakima DoubleDown 4 Bike Rack carry four rigs to the trailhead, it also folds out of the way so you can get into the back of your car without going over the back seat. This way, it makes your access to the back parts easier than before, with some users raving that they sometimes forget they have a rack installed when they lift the backdoor.

 

When the rack is not in usage, the DoubleDown’s support bars would fold down to make the rack less obstructing when you need to utilize the other parts of your car.

 

The rack is compatible with 2- and 1.25- inch hitch receivers, for greater flexibility when it would come to handling your bikes and loading them in. Furthermore, the rack tilts away at a certain angle from your car to allow easy access to the rear.

 

The Yakima bike rack’s standard SwitchBlade anti sway cradles are designed to keep your bikes from touching and crashing into each other.

 

The Yakima DoubleDown Bike Rack could be found in local establishments and on the internet.
