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.

Customer Review: Allen Bike Rack
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This bike rack is so easy to install and easy to store; LOVE the bike rack. I really like how I can have all 4 bike mounted on the hitch on the van, and access into the back of the van with never having to take the bikes off the hitch. It rotates the bikes out of the way for easy access.Customer Review: Allen Deluxe Hitch Mounted 4-Bike Carrier

This Hitch was better than expected. It was heavier duty than I had first thought. It folds up very nice and travels with bikes great. I looked for along time to decide on what to buy and this purchase was a good one. It does not sway like other bike carriers I read. It is a good purchase.Customer Review: grest carrier

We needed a carrier that would carry an adult tricycle and 2 kids bikes with training wheels and this 4 bike carrier worked great. We used some bungy straps to keep it stable but there is hardley any sway behined our motorhome or on the back of the car. This was a great purchase!!!!Customer Review: Love Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Rack

I was a little concerned about the hitch rack when I saw that comparable hitch bike racks were so much mor expensive. I found there was no reason for concern. I love it! It is solid and easy to use. By pivoting it out of position I can raise the back of my Expedition.Customer Review: Couldn't be happier!

Bought this bike rack for the back of our RV and it works great. Easy on, easy off. Easily holds our 2 adult bikes, 1 tween bike and a kids bike with no problems. We can load all 4 in about 5 minutes and they are nice and secure. We are very happy with this purchase!
