Bikes: 8

roof rack with 3 rails and 5 bike trays , 5 wheel transport forks , and a basket for a bunch of duffle bags.
3 bikes on the front pair of rails, and 2 on the rear, over the hatchback..

Since my driving speed was already slow, other than the weight the gas mileage hit was not that bad.

I was almost Hit by the receiver hitch mounted rack falling off of a passing travel trailer
with a few hundred pounds of family bikes on it.. Welding was not up to the load in the long run.
it hit the pave behind me..
I was on my bicycle , so I drug the bundle off to the side of the road..
