Carry your bicycles as securely as possible and avoid the hassles
of piled bikes or high threshold rooftop s, with the Allen
Deluxe 3-Bike Hitch Rack. Fitting vehicles with a 1.25 or
2-inch trailer hitch, the Allen Deluxe Hitch Rack is both
easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Constructed out
of steel with a durable black powder finish and with Allen's
patented tie downs that keep bikes from bumping, the rack is
built to last and is backed by a lifetime warranty from Allen.
The Allen rack boasts a patented tie-down system and
individually cradles up to three bikes in the 16-inch carry arms.
As easy to install as it is to use, the rack sets up in less than
5 minutes with a no-wobble bolt that holds it still within the
hitch. When the rack is not in use, the carry arms quickly drop
out of the way and fold down flat with a patented single pin
mechanism and the rack tilts up to allow easy access to the lift
gate.

About Allen Bike Racks:
In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace
technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job.
Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to
transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling
enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need
for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons
and wife to Cape Cod or the White ains of New Hampshire.
What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his
family's bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with
twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as
well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.
Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln,
Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to
transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing
them throughout the night, he put together a model made of
electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for
padding). At first, the Allen's tested the prototype on weekend
excursions. Finding the first trunk-ed rack to be a success,
Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly,
and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a
number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns
over three-dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of
bike racks while Dick's son Alex now owns and operates the
business. What started out as a small garage run operation now
operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and
has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the
world.
