(More customer reviews)First of all the box arrived so banged up, pieces of the rack were hanging out - it looked like it got left in the rain along the way. Second, there is no possible way we can figure out to rack 6 bikes on this thing. The product description said single-sided - that is impossible - the spaces are WAY too close together. We also tried it double-sided (which wouldn't work in the space we have to rack bikes anyway) but that didn't work either. And mountain bike tires don't even fit into the rack

The Allen 206MP Industrial Grade 6-Bike Parking Rack is the ideal bike parking station for casual or residential use. It is double-sided--up to six bikes can dock with the rack from either side of added versatility. Its streamlined design requires only minor assembly, and takes only five minutes to set up. The rack is zinc-plated, making it resistant to corrosion. The vertical sections of the rack are welded directly onto the body, providing excellent strength and rigidity. It also features a black powder coat finish, providing both durability and a sleek, attractive look.

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.
