Do I need one or two of these racks to hold one bike?

One. The hook on the rack will hold the front wheel. Back wheel will rest on the wall/floor

One bike yes. Two bikes, no. The bar does not expand that high to reach a ceiling high enough to hold 2 bikes vertically. Also, I don't think you could hold one bike on one side of the bar and the second bike on the other. I would imagine the bikes would brush up against each other because the hooks don't stick out far enough.

When I first installed the rack, I placed just one bike on the top, in order to get a sense of how high it would have to be. It didn't seem any less sturdy at that moment than it does now (still going strong with both bikes).

Nope, not usually. Most of the time you can shift the other bikes a bit to lift bikes in the middle out. We are very happy with our Monkey Bar Rack.

You would need two racks, but you would only need one load assist module. You can use the loader to assist with both kayaks. It attaches to a lip on the Malone racks and you remove it once you have loaded the kayak. I absolutely love mine. Works great.

Yes... However you may only be able to get one bike on the rack depending how far your tire sticks out. I moved the tire mount , witch is on the bumper, to one side worked fine.

You will need to set the wheel cradles with the Allen wrench to the proper width. Once this is done you can place the bikes on the rack and secure them with 3 straps--one for each wheel and one for the U-bar. The 4-bike rack is solid. It extends just a bit, but I like that the bikes do not swing or bump into each other once they are secured on the rack.

Depending on frame style, a separate cross bar adaptor may be required to secure ladies's bikes...(separate purchase)

I don't think there is one. You could carry 2 of the heaviest bikes made without any trouble. This rack is heavy duty.

Sorry, I have not tried that. Although, even with one bike on the rack, it is pretty heavy.

One screw but make sure you use a stud finder. The screw I used it's the type they use for concrete with a hex head. Two bikes? I doubt it. I have my kid's 16 inch bike and there is no room left for another bike like that or bigger.

It will hold 2 bikes at 50 lbs each. This is a heavy duty rack that only fits a 2" hitch. Full specs are here, http://hollywoodracks.com/bike-racks/hitch-racks/sportrider-hitch-rack-SE2-tech.htm

I like this bike rack. I don't think it would work well for three bikes. Our two just fit. Once secured, I haven't any problem's with it loosening

Not sure what kind of girl's bike you have, but you would likely need to add a support bar from the handle bars to seat. However, if you want to add two bikes to this rack, get another one. The handlebars on adult bikes prohibit a good fit, even if you put them rear to rear.

It can, but they will be pretty close together. I don't like my bikes to rub against each other, so I usually will only Cary one adult bike and one kid bike on his rack.

The XTR allows you to add another platform for two additional bikes for a total of 4 bikes and 2 racks. Hope it helps. If in doubt go to Thule official page.

I had to buy a special bike rack, but they do make them to accommodate. I actually bought one that was designed to hold four bikes so I could take this one and a 26 speed.
