About Allen Sports

Dick Allen (pictured left in 1972) started Allen Sports in his garage in 1967. Since its founding, the company has been committed to producing some of the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike racks and bicycle related products on the market. Dick, a onetime aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts shop in his free time. The first ever trunk-mounted bicycle carrier--made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding)-- was thoroughly tested on weekend excursions to Cape Cod. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to market, and by 1971 had established a national presence for his product.

Today, the family owned company owns more than three dozen patents, operates four warehouses nationally, six factories abroad, and sells products in countries around the world including USA, Mexico, Canada, and China.

Need an on-the-spot bike carrier but don't want to carry a full-sized rack around? Turn to the Allen MT-1 ultra-compact one-bike carrier, which folds up small and fits in almost any bag, including your backpack. Ideal for traveling, commuting, and other occasions when a portable bike rack might come in handy, the rack is small yet secure, with three padded legs that rest against your vehicle and three adjustable straps that secure to your car's hatchback or trunk gaps. Just as importantly, the rack holds your bike in a safe position thanks to the tie-downs and padding, which combine to keep your bike from rocking or making contact with your vehicle. And when you're done using the rack, simply fold it up and store it inside the included carrying bag. The one-bike rack--which sports a gray powder-coated finish--is designed to fit sedans, hatchbacks, minivans, and SUVs.

    Great Bike Mount
    4 Stars
    Great Bike Mount
    Proper Fit: It's been over 17 years since I've been on a bike, and I wanted to get fit and loose some weight so I decided to start biking and walking. I needed to get my bike to the riding trails and needed a bike mount, so after reading all the reviews on Amazon and on the Walmart website, I decided to get this one. One of the reviewers stated that you should go to the manufacture's website to ensure a proper fit and I'm going to suggest you do the same. Amazon was correct with it's fit check, but still confirm by going to http://allensportsusa.com/fit-list/.Don't Ride W/it on Your Back: Folded, it was heavier than I was expecting but nothing to worry about I think, unless you are going to lug it around with you for some reason. In the video demonstrating how to used the mount they show the model riding with it on her back. Why would you want to do that instead of just leaving it in your vehicle is beyond me; because the storage bag it comes with is not padded and use draw strings which would become very uncomfortable on your back IMO the longer you ride. There is nothing to secure it to your vehicle (to prevent theft), so store it in your vehicle, instead of leaving it on your vehicle when you go for your bike ride. I wouldn't even bother folding it back up, just place it in there and all you need to do is get it out and mount it once you are back from your ride.Mounted: Once I got it out of the box it was very easy to unfold and mount to both my vehicles, a 4-door sedan and a SUV. The top tube of my bike is slanted instead of horizontal, so I had to mount it in the tie-downs using the top and down tubes To keep the front wheel from spinning and scratching your vehicle you will need to secure it to the mount using either a bungie cord or the excess from bottom strap of the mount. I found that I could lift the bike slightly away from the mount once I had it secured on the tie-downs, so I used a bungee cord to secure it more snuggly to the mount so it doesn't bounce when I'm driving/go over a rough patch of road. I got a three pack of bungee, various lengths (s, m, l) , from the dollar store that did the trick.Folding It: The only issue I have had with it so far is when I get ready to fold it back up. I have to push really hard on the buttons sometimes to get them through their little slots so I can fold the arms. Makes for very sore thumbs. Otherwise great product.May 15: P.S. Make sure the top feet are level with each other. I didn't do that once and I thought the thing was sliding down but it wasn't, it just looked like it. There is a label on the back of the mount that I can be seen in the review mirror of my SUV and it didn't move the whole time I was driving (even over some crazy bumps/rough roads); so that told me the mount was completely/properly secure. But it still freaked me out to see one pad slanted lower than the other, especially when I got on the freeway and needed to go a minimum of 65 mph. I was so happy to see my driveway and when I got you and pulled on it, it could barely move. Again good product.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The rack fit quite nicely on the back of the vehicle with little issue
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2016
    I drive a Subaru 2016 Crosstrek. The rack fit quite nicely on the back of the vehicle with little issue. There is just enough room between the trunk button and license plate that the rack itself won't cover the plate. You will not be able to use the rear wipers when the rack is on and if you have a crosstrek with a spoiler do not get this rack. You will break the spoiler off. The hooks do not cause any damage to the car or paint however the bottom one is difficult to put on. I've found popping the trunk a bit and slipping the hook under is the easiest way. If you have a rearview camera the bike will block it a bit. I find putting the front wheel in front of the camera is the best way to go if you still want to use it. As for mounting the bike itself this is relatively easy. The straps are fairly easy to buckle and wrap around the bike. The bike is held safely away from the vehicle so no damage is done to either. The rack itself is easy to steal from the vehicle (all someone would need is a pair of scissors or knife to cut it off.) I would suggest leaving it in the vehicle when not in use. The rack is easy to set up. Folding it back down is the hard part. I just use the key to my bike lock to push in the little locks on the rack and this helps. The rack is easy to store within the vehicle and doesn't take up room in the trunk. I've driven with the rack over many rough roads/ potholes and the rack has remained in place with no slipping or loosening of the straps. I've had the chance to take it out on the highway up to speeds of 70mph. The rack held secure. There was a bit of resistance created by the by the bike but this was expected and there was no noticeable dip in the mgp.

    A quick summary:

    Pros:
    -Easy to set up
    -Holds secure in a variety of conditions
    -Keeps the bike from damaging the car
    -Doesn't damage the car itself
    -Great deal for the price
    -Gets your bike where it needs to go

    Cons:
    -Can be difficult to fold up (fixed by keeping something that can push in the buttons handy)
    -Bike will block license plate
    -Bike can make it difficult to see through rearview camera.
    -Will not fit a crosstrek with spoiler
    -Cannot use rear wipers

    Overall this is a great bike rack. Especially for the price. It is very versatile in the vehicles it can fit. Best of all it gets the bike where it needs to go and does so safely. I would recommend this bike rack to others.
