Question:
what is the measurement between the hanging bars on the Yakima Ridgeback. I am trying to determine if I am able to hang a smaller bike on it.

I went out into our demo bay and grabbed a Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 to measure the distance between the arms of the rack and found them to be 13 inches apart at the widest point measured from the outsides of the arms.
Since you plan on carrying kid's bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also.
