Thule 4 Parkway Hanging Hitch Bike Rack

parfait pour mettre 4 montain bike, solide, facile à baisser pour avoir acces au hallion. déçu du system de " lock " pour le hitch, seulement une vis, il y a moyen d'avoir en option le " snug tight lock, slt2 " pour 64.95$ que je trouve cher pour une barrure de hitch, mais que canadian tire ne tiens pas en stock ... décevant. On peut l'obtenir en ligne ou via un autre magasin. Bref s'est un bon produit que je recommande.

Ce porte-vélo Thule 4 Parkway est très résistant et sécuritaire!

planning to have 4 bikes, so i need a good one. this one does ;) and so easy for me.

I bought this in the spring and it is FABULOUS!! It only took 10 -15 min to get it on my vehicle! Its light and convenient and it only takes min to put on or remove! We use it on weekend when we bike and it easliy fits 4 bikes on it and is stable and safe! WAY TO GO CANADIAN TIRE we love our thule 4-bike carrier!!!

I bought the Thule Parkway 4 bike rack from CT in Aug of 2012 and I have to say it is a fantastic rack even if I had to pay full price. I am so glad I listened to the comments from other CT shoppers like you. Just pick up and observe the product and you will know that it is strong and very well built. It took me 15 minutes to put together and sliding it into my Sienna’s 2 inch hitch was a breeze. Are there fancier racks out there? Of course, but it will come at a significantly greater price. This rack will more than do the job for the 4 or 5 outings per year that I plan on using it. I had contemplated buying another (no-name) rack from another big box store for 1/3 of the regular CT price but the quality doesn’t even come close to this Thule rack (what do you expect). Besides, do you really want to take a chance strapping heavy metal on the back of your vehicle doing over 100 km on a highway? Go with a good quality name brand that you can afford and trust. It will give you peace of mind. The only modification I made was adding a single washer at the joint where it allows you to lower the entire rack. The added washer wasn’t absolutely necessary because the play (sway in the vertical position) was minimal and totally acceptable but with it added on, the rack is a tank and doesn’t move at all and is easy to lift and lower to access the trunk. Please note that the instructions clearly states that raising or lowering the rack should be done “without” bikes on the rack. It would be too heavy and awkward in my own opinion to do this with bikes already loaded on racks of this type. I also ordered another quick release pin from Thule ($7.00) to be used on the 2 horizontal arms that hold up the bikes since the original that comes in the package is a threaded bolt. This will allow me to quickly raise and lower the horizontal arms when not in use. Customer service at Thule was easy and pleasant. I had no problem with ground clearance or between the bike and the rear of the van. If you have bikes with frames that are difficult to load, go for this this double arm model because I was able to hold all 4 bikes (2 adult mountain bikes and 2 children bikes). The 2 arms allowed me to be a little more creative in loading unlike the single arm models which I could only load 2 bikes with simple frames. I have to thank the manager at CT Dufferin and 407 for being extremely helpful. If durability of this product suffers, which I doubt,I will comment at a later date.
