Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I went to a new store and they sold me this rack. For the price it does work, meaning it hold the bike on the car, however there are no straps to secure the bike so generally what happens is if you drive over 30 mph the bike picks up air and slides up the poles. Then when you stop it comes down and hits (scratches) your car.
Eastern Mountain Sports Response:This is the entry level rear mount bike rack made by Yakima, and it is true there are no straps included with this system. Securing the bikes to the rack itself requires buying additional straps or getting creative. Our first priority is your complete satisfaction with your Eastern Mountain Sports® purchase.
