Platform Hitch Racks
Platform Hitch racks support your bicycle from the bottom instead of hanging your bicycle from the top tube of your frame.
The Holly Wood HR1000 is a great example of a platform rack. The tires sit in hoops and then a padded bar holds the bike firmly in the hoops. Simple Stable and easy to mount and dismount the bike to the Bicycle rack. This style of rack is especially nice for carrying more expensive bikes because you will not damage the paint on your bike with these racks.
