Carry your bicycles as securely as possible and avoid the hassles of high-threshold rooftop mounts or messy pile-on racks with the Allen 104S premium trunk-mount rack. Designed to fit sedans, hatchbacks, minivans, and SUVs, the rack snaps into place right out of the box--no frustrating assembly, no instructions that take a half hour to figure out. More importantly, the rack holds up to four bikes at once, with 22-inch-long arms that accommodate road bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrids. And should you need to access an item in the trunk, the 104S folds easily out of the way with one hand. Bundled with a patented individual tie-down system that secures and protects your bikes, the 104S comes with a lifetime warranty.
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 shortly afterward. 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 sells products in more than a dozen countries around the world.
