Does Exactly What it is Supposed to Do
this Yakima Little Joe 3 review by Ride4Fun
I normally use roof top carriers, but I went on a camping trip and brought a canoe so I needed to get a rear strap rack for the trip for my road and mountain bikes. I bought a Little Joe and I can say that even though it isn’t real fancy, this guy did a great job, and I don’t mind that it doesn’t have cradles. In fact, loading bikes is easier because of the fact that there aren’t cradles. I used an old inner tube as a bungee to keep the bikes snug and the thing worked great.
