"And of course the 2008 hitch bike rack series of products are no different. Every one of these bike carriers, from the Yakima SwingDaddy on down to the Yakima DoubleDown models, are excellent examples of how Yakima Racks is constantly working to improve product design to meet the various needs of consumers."
