Inexpensive bike rack?

X2. I have this rack and can't say enough good things about it. I am an avid cyclist and have been for 20 years - Road, mountain, races , you name it, so I have used and tried a lot of racks. I have also worked in a shop and sold racks from Thule, Saris - all the top expensive brands. I have a $300 Thule rack and this one from Swagman is better in more ways than I can count. My Thule collects dust, I use this one every time. Easy to mount, it cinches up tight in the receiver so no slop, it's easy to load and unload the bikes, there is no place where it rubs the frames, and it folds up easily. I have expensive bikes (several thousand) and totally trust this rack.

Not an expert biker, here. But, unfortunately, I am fairly well experienced in buying cheap bike carriers. Have had several. The less expensive ones end up costing more when they fall apart and you have to buy the next one up. And do it all over again... and again. The cheaper ones with rubber straps, for example, break with not much UV damage. The riveted frames don't last long either. Sure... you can go to using your own straps and drilling out the loose rivets and replacing with bolts, etc, if you want to. My experience says to go with the best (highest review rated) bike rack you can afford... the first time.

Lately, I have been very satisfied with This One from Camping World

Edit: Oops... Looks like Campfire Time (above) has proven, yet again, Amazon beats the Camping World Internet Price. LOL

Not Junk is not cheap.. Look for a ladder bike rack.

I'm looking for a bike rack that will fit into a 2 inch receiver. I've priced some locally, and they're all over $200.00. I just need one to carry 2 bikes. Don't want junk, but don't need a Tour de France super deluxe model either.
Thanks

I checked with Costco Their hitch mounted bike carrier is $249 Sorry. Maybe ebay or craigslist.

Here--->Bike Racks on Craigslist.
