If you've got a bunch of kids that ride and you go on adventures, you need the biggest bike rack you can find.  For us, this is a winner; not just because it holds 5 bikes, but because it holds them securely.  But man is it heavy (even with no bikes).  And those kids--well they keep growing, which means different bikes--and you've got to loosen all the bolts again and play with the angles, and make sure everybody knows what order their bike goes in.  Even once you've got it perfectly adjusted, loading 5 bikes takes precise, time-consuming loading.  But it is well-made.  Because I've found nothing better that holds 5 very different bikes, I'm giving 4 stars.  One star lost because there's got to be an easier to change the angles of the brackets, and the last locking plastic nut is a pain--very hard to get the lock to engage as you tighten.
