Manufacturer's Warranty Limited 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. 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Bike Rack AdventureWe purchased the Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack for a recent camping trip. We wanted to take all four of our bikes but neither of our vehicles is equipped with a hitch. After researching racks both in local stores and online, this Allen rack seemed to be a good choice. It was easy to mount on the car and held the bikes beautifully . . . in the driveway. Even for a short trip around the neighborhood it seemed we had made a wise purchase. However, 45 minutes from home and on a busy interstate ... Read More Rating:  - Great quality bike rackThis bike rack was relatively easy to put on and to take off. We went to Colorado and back with it and the bikes stayed secure the whole time. Foam pads help protect car. Great buy. Rating: - Excellent!!!!We used this bike rake going to the beach....a 5 hour trip. It worked perfect! The bikes were very easy to get on, no noise or movement, easy to put on (we have a minivan), great to store (folds nicely). We were very impressed with it and was so well worth the $100 we paided for it. We have a men's & women's adult mountain bike and two children's 18" bikes. Well made!! Rating:  - Works WellThe bike rack works well, the only thing I don't like is how the bike straps tend to slide down and closer to the car which could cause your bike to touch your car and scratch. Installation of rack is easy and loading and unloading bike is quick. Rating: - Review of Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Trunk RackI purchased this in June 2008 to carry 4 mountain bikes, mainly for use on the back of my 4Runner while towing a tent trailer to some mountain camping areas. I went this route rather than purchasing a roof mounted bike rack on the car or trailer for a couple reasons. First, the roof mounted racks were too high for my wife to get the bikes on / off, and we wanted the versatility of using the racks with or without the trailer. The setup was very straightforward. Just unfolded the unit out ... Read More |
