The unique Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 is a superb option for vehicles like your Forester that have a spoiler. Its specialized design avoids placing any stress on the spoiler, which is of course not designed to bear any weight.

The # HRF2 does not include locks but we offer Dead Bolt cable lock # e98891 to secure your bikes to the rack. We also offer passive security straps to deter theft of the rack itself, including # Y02623 from Yakima and # TH533 from Thule.

If you will be transporting kid's, women's or alternative-frame-design bikes (without the horizontal top frame tube typical of standard men's bikes) you will benefit from using a bike adapter bar like the Hollywood Racks # HRBA-PRO. This simple device attaches between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the arms on the carrier. This keeps such bikes level on the carrier for better ground clearance at the wheels.
