In this video I break down how I’m able to haul up to five bikes on my Subaru Forester without doing anything crazy—just using a hitch receiver and a 5-bike hitch-mounted rack. The rack I’m talking about is the JB Racks 5-bike setup, and the whole point here is helping you figure out if a rack like this actually makes sense for your life: riding with friends, shuttling the crew, family trips, or just being the person who always ends up bringing extra bikes. I walk through what to look for before you buy—fitment with a hitch, how the bikes sit on the rack, and the practical stuff that matters when you’re loading multiple bikes back-to-back. If you’ve ever tried to stack a bunch of bars, pedals, and frames in one place, you already know the struggle. My goal is to give you a clear rundown so you can decide if a 5-bike rack is the move, or if you’d be better off with something smaller (and cheaper). Cheers, and have an awesome day!
