Thule Hitch Switch™
This lever is used at two places on the Thule Roadway bike carrier. One lever is at the base of the rack, where the shank (part that slides into the trailer hitch) is connected to the upright bar. By simply lifting up on the lever (the hitch switch), it allows the upright bar to tilt forward. To raise the rack back into position just push the rack towards the vehicle until you hear the hitch switch click into place. The hitch switch is also located at the top of the rack where the two arms that carry the bikes meet the upright bar. Again, simply lift the lever to fold the arms down for storage. This is much easier than messing around with pins, clips and cables.

I got this rack to haul around my families plethora of bikes and it works like a charm. I'm a little concerned about the 150 lb max weight only because I've got cheaper heavier bikes but so far I don't think I've reached that max yet. Getting all five bikes on and off takes a little ingenuity but I expected that when I bought it.
