"Swing out" style bike rack

[kraqus]

The one I am referring to is the type where you place 2 wheels on the rack NOT the type where you hang the bikes....I found those. I have been searching all over and I cannot find such a bike rack. I don't like the hanging style because you need to remove all other bikes in order to get to the last one. I need one that has a swing out style arm so I can get the bikes out of the way and open my trailer, pulled out the kitchen and cooked if I need to.

If you have such a rack please let me know more details.

Custom on a VW bus.

That is exactly what I am talking about......
Is that yours?

Not mine and I could not find the makers web page.
Looks like a hitch version could be adapted easily.

Found it!
They sell the swing out arm so you can chose the rack manufacturer of your choice.
Pricey.....Oh well.

I like the sold arm version on the WV van.

That thing is cool, but you've got to want an attachment pretty badly to drop $550 bucks on it......and still have to attach your own rack to it!:Wow1:

I don't think Yakima makes a rack like the one I am looking for.
They do have the "Hang on" style.
Pictures? Model?

I have a much older model, it has served me well and even has some rock rash. I really like the threaded pin that is part of the mount, the rack is very stable. I have loaded 4 bikes on it on many occasions with no issues. It really is the way to go if you have a 2" receiver hitch. I have to be careful with the tailgate on my Range Rover, this may be an issue for you.

The "hang style" bike rack will not work, I need the type where bikes are held individually.
This way if anyone wants to go riding can take his\her bike and go, leaving the rest still on the rack.

This is the kind I am looking for but it needs to be able to swing out.
