Kayak Journal: Yakima brings you the new Swing Daddy hitch bike...

Kayak Journal: Yakima brings you the new Swing Daddy hitch bike rack for 2009.

As Yakima Racks premiere hitch mount bicycle rack, the SwingDaddy not only includes all the security & stability features you'd expect from a top-tier hitch mount bicycle carrier, it also conveniently swings completely out of the way even with the bicycles loaded for full access to the rear of your vehicle. The Yakima Swing Daddy carries up to 4 bikes. Fits 2 inch hitch receivers only. Includes new RocSteady hitch tongue for superior stability, eliminating any possible hitch rack wobble found on competitors' models. Yakima Racks thought of everything for this rear 2 inch hitch receiver mount bike rack, you'll have your bikes loaded so quickly you can put the integrated bottle opener to use before your friends are finished loading even one bike on any competitor's hitch bike rack!

With the Yakima SwingDaddy swing-away technology you'll enjoy total access to the rear of your car by simply swinging the bike rack completely off to the side and out of the way, even with 4 bikes loaded!
The Yakima Swing Daddy bike hitch rack is compatible with all types of bicycles - new narrower dual arm design eliminates the need for top-tube adapters normally used with bike styles including kids and womens bikes. Please note, for easist loading of each bicycle with an unconventional frame, including downhill / freeride mountain bikes we highly recommend the Yakima TopTube Adapter (not included; see accessories below).
Yakima TriggerFinger release enables arms to instantly fold down when not in use (ideal for garage and parallel parking without having to take the hitch bike rack off).
Includes SwitchBlade anti-sway bike cradles. Eliminates bike to bike contact and bike to vehicle contact. Comes with Yakima Chain Straps to anchor each bike in place. Quickly adjust for perfect bike spacing and lock down when in use.
Finest padding made of EVA foam used on the arms allowing for optimal bike protection.
Includes the integrated Yakima LockDown security cable lock & keys for simultaneously locking the bicycles to the bike rack and the entire rack itself to the receiver hitch. No additional locking devices necessary.
Includes new RocSteady hitch tongue for superior stability, eliminating any possible hitch rack wobble found on competitors' models.
Durable, strong and lightweight construction combined with premium metallic powdercoat finish.
If you ski or snowboard we highly recommend the Yakima HitchSki snowboard-ski rack attachment (sold separately; see accessories below) for use on the Yakima SwingDaddy during the winter months.
Fits 2 inch receivers only.
Carries up to 4 bicycles.
Even comes with a built-in bottle opener included!
