The rack is meant to come off to be packed. Because of it's height (to keep your heels from hitting the load) it adds considerable size to the bike.
It's a great rack, but one caution: Be sure and tighten ALL the screws when mounting it on your bike, including the four black screws that hold it together. I learned the hard way on an organized community ride in Portland when my rack came apart about 1/2 way through the ride. I was able to re-place the remaining screws to put it back together so I could finish the ride sans the one screw that had gone by-by.
As Vik shows, it packs very flat for travel, transport or storage.
