| Sep 6, 2018 at 15:20 | comment | added | Andrew Henle | Worth noting that the rack can be removed from the car entirely, but it + 2 bikes is around 150 to 200 lbs. A couple fit men could carry this off if they wanted to, and they might. Umm, it's not too hard to find one fit man who can carry that much weight a decent distance rather quickly, and do it rather easily. | |

| Sep 6, 2018 at 12:55 | comment | added | Monica Apologists Get Out | I've got my own ideas on what makes a good reasonable trade off of risk and effort. I'll probably post my own longwinded answer at some point, but obviously will let people who have more hands on experience with this stuff answer before me. | |
