Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children’s, women’s, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children’s bikes will require a bike adapter bar.

The Thule Parkway is the perfect hitch-mounted bike rack for weekend warriors and part-time riders. The simple, solid design offers a great option for basic bike transportation.

Rotating, sliding cradles hold your bikes firmly in place on the rack arms while protecting the frames from scratches and abrasions. The cushioned cradles have soft rubber straps that secure the bikes in place, helping to prevent bike-to-bike contact during transport.

You can upgrade to anti-sway cradles by adding 1 No-Sway Cage and 1 Strap (sold separately) per bike positions. These cradles hold your bike frame at 3 points to help prevent sway and bike-to-bike contact.

The dual arms on this rack offer great support for your bikes and reduce the need for a bike adapter bar. An adapter bar may be required, however, for some women’s, children’s and alternative bike frames.

Parkway features a pin at its base that can be removed to tilt the rack away from your vehicle for convenient access to your rear cargo area (after the bikes have been removed).

Parkway includes a built-in anti-rattle device on the shank that reduces vibration and noise in the hitch for a smoother, quieter ride. A Snug-Tite hitch lock (THSTL2; sold separately) is available for locking the rack to your hitch. Add a cable lock (TH538XT; sold separately) to lock your bikes to the rack.

The rack comes with an anti-sway strap to reduce movement of the handlebars and front wheels during transport.
