I ordered this product because I needed to get two bicycles off the limited space on my garage floor. No problems with delivery and the rack itself is well made and looks good. Installation was also easy - one screw in a stud. (The screw is cheap metal and strips easy) My major problem is that the rack only holds ONE bike, not two. I know it'll hold only one 'cause I tried every concevibale angle to hang the two bikes and it just doesn't work. If you want a rack for one bike - this will do, but if you want a rack for TWO bikes - find another product.

The Allen 201 Wall Mounted 2-Bike Storage Rack is ideal for residential bike storage. It comes fully assembled, and features a streamlined design that takes only one screw to install. The rack mounts on the wall, and folds up and out of the way when not in use to diminish its obtrusiveness even further. The rack has a corrosion-resistant zinc-plated construction, and can also double-function as a repair stand.

About Allen Bike Racks In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family's bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.
Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens' tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick's son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.
