Carry all Styles of Bikes

The Alpaca Compact will carry up to four conventional bikes. The width and style of bicycle determines how many will actually fit on the carrier. The bigger wider mountain bikes, three fit well. Recumbent bikes with the seat left on two will be the limit. Recumbent bikes can be carried with conventional bikes, skis, and snowboards. The more the items are spaced on the carrier the less it will carry. The pedals and handlebars on the bikes are the obstacles to over come. Three bikes load easily; the fourth becomes more of a challenge because there are so many pedals and handlebars. Once you learn how best to load your bikes on the carrier, and which order they load best, it is very simple and convenient to use.
