No, it's not a riddle, it's the new Allen MT-1 Trunk Mounted 1 Bicycle Rack .  Installing the MT-1 on your vehicle couldn't be easier-just unfold the three support arms and snap them in place, rest the self-leveling rubber coated support pads on your trunk or hatch, put the three mounting clips in place, and tighten the straps. When you're ready to ride, pop your bike off the rack, take the rack off your vehicle, fold it up and stow the MT-1 in your backpack or duffel. (It even comes with its own small carry bag.) The one bike model is available now, and the Allen MT-2 Trunk Mounted 2 Bike Rack will be out later this spring.     While you're waiting for the last of the snow to melt, check out this video of the head of Allen Sports USA touring the factory where the Allen MT-1 is manufactured.

Together with Thule's Stay-Put cradles, this makes the Archway capable of accepting bike frames of nearly any design (though NOT carbon fiber frame bicycles-those should always be carried by the tires or forks, otherwise you risk cracking the frame of the bike).     Thule hasn't forgotten about bike security, either. The Archway's integrated lock cable secures your...

    Thule's new 9002 RaceWay 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bicycle Rack just arrived in our warehouse this morning, but we're going to need more of them. LOTS more. Because everyone with bikes but no trailer hitch is going to want one. Thule spent about 2 years perfecting the RaceWay's design, and it shows.

Thule's new Sure-Tight cable system locks the RaceWay to your vehicle with a couple quick turns of a knob.

    Kuat racks . Their company name may seem funny, but when it comes to building a better bike rack they're all business. Kuat's new line of premium aluminum frame bike racks are lightweight but rock-solid.     The Kuat Alpha 3 Bike Hitch Rack rugged frame is constructed from 6061 T6 aluminum and only weighs about 13 pounds (roughly half the weight of a traditional hitch mounted bike rack ).

    The new Pitchfork fork mounted roof top bike carrier from Rocky Mounts brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "low profile". Although the Pitchfork is only about an inch and a half tall, its tubular aluminum tray is 40% stronger and 2 inches longer (45") than previous tray designs, giving you more tray with less wind noise. The long-throw quick release skewer and rear tire ratcheting strap will hold your bike like a champ, whether you've got a road bike or a mountain bike with fat tires (up to 2.7 inches). The Pitchfork sports a unique dual-locking design. By locking the skewer with one Rocky Mounts Lock Core both your bike and the tray are locked to your roof rack. For even greater security, you can also install a second lock core to secure the tray to your rack even when the skewer isn't locked. The Pitchfork roof mounted bicycle carrier fits Yakima roundbars and Thule square bars (all mounting hardware is included) and comes with a one year warranty...

    Thule's new Helium Lightweight Aluminum Hitch Mounted Bicycle Racks are the most impressive new products that Thule has rolled out this year. They sport an incredibly sleek look, with an eye catching all-aluminum design. With such a slim profile you might think the Helium is a lightweight rack, and it does weigh about 1/3 less than a standard steel-frame bicycle rack . But don't let its good looks fool you. The Helium is every bit as tough as a steel-frame rack, and its aluminum frame can't rust!     As I'm sure you already know, looks aren't everything. The Helium wouldn't be much of a hitch rack if all it did was look good. With fully integrated locking security, Thule's premium T3 bike cradles, and the best anti-rattle hitch mechanism in its class, the Helium offers much more than just bike rack bragging rights. Thule's T3 cradles with included No-Sway Cages hold your bikes gently but firmly in place and help eliminate sway even on rough road...
