Outside Magazine – Yakima Fourtimer

Wendy Fisher, former Olympian, freeskiing champion, and mother of two, wants a better bike transportation system. “If I go somewhere, I’m throwing in all the gear I can—the bikes, skateboards, soccer ball—because I don’t want the boys to be bored,” Fisher says. She currently uses a hitch system on her car that accommodates just two bikes—enough for her boys, but not the whole family. I suggest the Yakima Fourtimer because it holds bikes of multiple sizes, meaning she won’t have to upgrade as her sons get bigger.
