I have only one bike. Do I have to use the mount closest to the car?

I use the one closest to the car, but don't think it would matter which one you use.

I believe the rack mount is optional. I purchased one. This is a great light.

This is not required if you place the women's bikes on one of the first three mounting locations (closest to the back). Larger children's bikes and women's bikes fit easy there. If you want to place them inward toward the 4th and 5th positions, then yes, this is required.

The mount is uber-strong. I would be more concerned about what you use to attach the mount to your bike. That would be the weak point, not the mount itself. The phone will not come out of the mount, but need to focus on how to attach to your bike. Enjoy.

No, look up the hitch specs of your car. I'm sure the bike will be too heavy. You also need a class 3 hitch.

I believe you can, but you may want to simply undo the mount and light together and take it with you when you park the bike.

That's the only way to mount them is on an angle. You have too drill the bottom holes. Doesn't look bad on the bike.

Yes you can. As a matter of fact we took the cover off of our wheel and the bike rack is mounted directly on the tire. Works great!

You still have to use the mounting stand. This just takes it from the window and puts it down on the dash, out of your line of sight.

I ride bikes as well and I would not use this mounting mechanism on a bike. It works well on the protected inside windshield of a car. For a bike I would use a more secure mount.

On my set up, the bike closest to the car is only used for a tiny strider bike for my son. That is only because I can turn the handlebars. The second to closest slot is past the vertical bar so swinging is limited because the bike sets against that bar.

I agree with the previous answer. You will probably be able to get the rack on the car (although I would contact the manufacture and get accurate dimensions/length of the bar) but you would definitely only be able to put one bike on.

Wish I could help. Purchased it for my Vespa Piaggio and it is too small to hold it. I did see a dirk bike this weekend on the back of a truck using the same mount.

yes you can. I remove mine after use because I need to get into hatchback of car. Installs and unenstalls within seconds. Do it daily. Take someone to work everyday with their bike. Then he rides home.

Under 'What's in the box" it lists 'Bike Mount'. This is the standard mount which places the unit directly on your handlebar or stem. The 'Out Front' style mount has to be purchased seperately, either from Garmin or someone like K-Edge. You may as well just go with what's in the box and see if it suits you. If not, you can easily pick up an 'Out Front' at a later date.

You have to have the mount... this is the attachment for the phone. It is a seperate item. I have this on my motorcycle. Never falls off. worth the money!
