Question:

Will 2 bikes fit comfortably next to each other on the FullBack 2? or is it easier and more comfortable to buy the FullBack 3 for two bikes. I dont want the hassle of having to fit the bikes on the rack by squeezing them in and getting handles and foot pedals tangled up!

Expert Reply:

The decision between the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack, # Y02634, and the FullBack 3, # Y02633, is going to depend on the bikes that you are carrying. If you will be carrying road bikes or bikes with smaller frames, the 2 bike model will work well for you.

If you will be carrying adult mountain bikes or cruiser style bikes, then I would recommend going with the 3 bike model. Having the extra room of a 3 bike rack will make loading and unloading larger bikes much easier.
