Amazon.com Product Description
This heavy-duty platform-style rack is designed as a 2 + 2 system so it can be easily converted to hold either two bicycles or four bicycles. It mounts on a 2-inch hitch and folds flat against the back of a vehicle when not in use. The rack uses padded universal top clamps and adjustable wheel holders. Bikes need simply to be dropped into the wheel holders and clamps slid down onto the frames. Velcro wheel straps add security. To prevent rack sway, the hitch system is "no-wobble/no-tools" and includes a locking pin and 9-foot security cable. The rack carries a limited warranty against defects. About Hollywood Racks

They earned a great reputation fast and began selling racks to other dealers, and later to the bike companies. Today, Hollywood Racks builds racks the only way they know how: simple, strong, and secure. Hollywood Racks are built with top-quality materials including high-strength steel, aircraft-quality fasteners, and thick powder coats to withstand the elements. Generous amounts of padding protect bikes and cars, and all of their products are fully covered with a limited warranty.

Solidly built - gets the job done September 3, 2010

I've been looking for a rack with some specific criteria for a while - capacity for 4 bikes, platform rack, solidly constructed, holds mountain or road bikes, 2+2 configuration for when the family stays home. This was the best value.
Things I really like:
* This rack can fold in multiple ways - the top tube folds sideways, so the whole rack can fold up while attached to the car. Or the side tubes fold up for surprisingly compact storage. Locking pins are secure & make for easy setup.
* Includes a locking hitch pin and long cable lock in the package.
* Holds the bikes very securely. I had a hangning-style rack, and the bikes were too close, swung into each other damaging 2. This is rock solid. The bikes are held very securely.
* Ratcheting hold down clamps - once it's configured for your bikes, it's very quick to put the bikes on and off.
Workable, but minor annoyances:
* Attaching the extension to carry 4 bikes requires a wrench & two bolts with lockwashers - there's no quick disconnect. But on the plus side, it's much more secure, and only takes a minute.
* Two bikes that are exactly the same frame size can be a challenge, especially with horizontal top tubes. If the bikes are too close in size, the clamps can interfere. If there's any tilt to the top tube, it's much easier, or you can secure one clamp to the downtube. I made everything work, but it takes some configuration time when 2 bikes are identical in size.
* A padlock can lock the ratcheting clamps in place for extra security, but the holes are small - a standard Master lock doesn't fit. You need the kind with the smaller clasp.
* It's heavy. But to be fair, that's also a bonus - it needs to be heavy duty. But just know it's awkward to lift when fully assembled. I store it in 2 parts, which is much more workable.
* To secure the rack to the hitch, there's a threaded rod that creates tension on the hitch pin. Cool idea, but it takes some minor fiddling to get the hitch pin through the clamp properly. Not a big deal.
* The design of the main support is on an upward incline away from the car, which was smart, but it's still a big contraption and fairly close to the ground. Fire roads with steep transitions or parking lots crossing really high sidewalks need to be taken s-l-o-w-l-y. Don't expect to go crazy off-roading with this. At least not at high speed. I bottomed out only once - no damage - but it can happen, so take it easy.
Despite any minor annoyances, this was EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I highly recommend it. If you're even slightly mechanically inclined, this is a piece of cake. It's solidly built, does what it's supposed to do.
 Bike Rack for 4 August 29, 2010
D. D. Toscano (Sayre, PA)
We bought this rack for 2 adult and 2 childrens bikes. It took 2 adults to assemble the product and get through directions. The package was a bit damaged when it arrived, but all necessary parts were present. The reflector on the post was cracked. We can carry 2 adult and 2 children's mountain bikes. Have to consider sizes of bikes and style of bike to be sure they can be secured down properly with the top rachet. We put the smaller bikes toward the car. We really like the tire supports. We drove an hour each way, on the highway and other roads. Very secure, felt confident with it on the back. It is a bit of a storage problem, serves the exact purpose we intended...get us to the campground with four bikes.
High Quality Product!!!!! August 27, 2010

This bike rack is very well built and easy use. My wife and I have two Trek 7000 bikes and just finished a long trip through southern Illinois. We had the rack on with the two bikes for the entire trip and only took the bikes off when we were riding. The bikes stayed secure the entire time. The rack comes with a lockable cable and lockable hitch pin so the bikes and rack are safe (they are keyed alike for use with one key). We like the fact the rack converts from a 2 bike rack to a 3 or 4 bike rack since the kids will have there own bikes later on. If you have some nicer bikes and want to keep them from getting scratched up or stolen go with this rack, the extra cost is worth having a quality item that works and will last. We are very happy with this purchase.
love it August 3, 2010

Well this rack is pretty heavy but worth it I think. Usually it is just my bike so I have taken it apart so that it only caries 2 bikes. When I get together with some of my friends to go on a road trip it is very easy to reattach the other end so that it hold 4 bikes. Very sturdy and easy to lock the bikes up. It works great and worth every red cent!
Very well built and easy to use July 23, 2010

The 4 bike rack is well built and very easy to load and unload. We take several grandkids to our riding trails and they have different style bikes. The clamp-down loading system makes it easy to get the different bikes on and off rack. This rack is exactly what I was looking for. It met our needs perfectly.
