Comments about Yakima Racks Little Joe 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack:
I had to stop multiple times to retighten this rack and by the end of my trip the entire area under the licence plate (2004 Honda Oddyssey) was dented. The fact that it doesnt fold up and it is on a minivan it becomes a hazard for people walking by (2+ feet of hardend black aluminum sticking straight out from the rear of the van)
I guess you get what you pay for.

Comments about Yakima Racks Little Joe 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack:
Very easy to set-up, but you will have to provide your own method to secure your bikes! And be aware of potential scratches the bikes could make on your vehicle, because the rack is small and close to your car!

Comments about Yakima Racks Little Joe 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack:
I currently only need to secure one bicycle, and it would be great if there were a way to position that bike further out on the arms, for example some collars or rings on the arms. Also, the rack can be removed without opening the trunk of my sedan, so a thief could potentially easily remove the rack and the bike all at once. I know there are "tie-downs" included in some of the higher models, but it would seem that for a small price increase some sort of straps could be included with this unit. Aside from those suggestions this a very high quality piece of equipment and a great value for the price.
