Worth it.
By Andy from Outer Space
New for model year 2011 is the Thule raceway 2 and 3. I purchased the Raceway 2 from Niagara Cycle works because they are offering the model for $ 197 ($230 is the normal retail) with free shipping and no tax. Decision to buy online is a no brainer. Package arrived comprimised but goods were intact. Bike rack is incredibly easy to use and locks in place to prevent theft. I have used the rack several times and it is solid for what appears to be mostly polymer construction. Rack folds easily and stores in truck when you do not want it in the way or to prevent theft. One could purchase a cheaper bike rack for a fraction of the cost, but Thule has a reputation for quality products and has impressed this customer. I do not believe I will need another bike rack soon but when the time comes I would purchase another from Thule.Pros - Incredibly easy to use. - Folds when not in use. - Fast setup (can mount on a car in a few minutes, takedown in seconds) - Has locks for both bike and car (to prevent someone from jacking the actual rack).Cons - Lock works however for the price paid it should feel more study. Key seems like it might break under heavy stress. - Rubber molds can be ripped off if not careful, but would take some effort. - Price; not actually a con but I feel the price will scare potential customers from purchasing this hassle free bike rack.

Thule Rear Mounted Rack Not for the Car-Loving Cyclist
By Matt
Thule's 9001 Raceway Rear Mounted Bike Rack is an innovative, effective product when it comes to mounting bikes securely to a vehicle. This benefit, however, comes at the cost of damaging your vehicle. The rack rests on either the rear lip or trunk of most make and model vehicles, but the cushioning is not sufficient to prevent DENTS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I'm still trying to work out this issue with Thule, and I anticipate they will pin the blame on operator error. However, I am a cycling and automotive enthusiast who always carefully follows directions.Thule's bike rack is, indeed, impressive, but it's a "no go" if you love your car more than a bike rack.

Awesome bike rack!
By Ian Arche
This bike rack is a "no-brainer" for those who don't want to hassle with straps and figuring out how a bike rack will fit on their car. Super easy to set it up on the car and get your bike strapped-in and be on your way to do some riding. Great sturdy design, unlike some of those tube-style racks you see out there...however, it does weigh a little bit more than those other racks. But if you want something that's built to be sturdy then you'll really like this rack. It's become a permanent fixture on my car because I use it pretty much every day, but if you want to take it down, it's really easy to unlock the straps and reel everything back into the unit, fold it up and stowed away for storage.
