I bought this bike rack to have an easier option for the times when I just want to take 1 bike and dont want to get the big 3 bike rack out. This rack easily holds my Trek Navigator and so far there have been no problems with slippage or stretching on the straps.
The rack basically has only 2 straps with 4 attachment hooks, and can be mounted on the trunk of my Buick Century in less than 30 seconds. I wouldn't use this rack for any extended trips or interstate driving, but for a quick 20 min trip to your bike riding spot it is perfect.
The only complaint I have is the fact that the bike can swing back and forth a bit after you have it mounted, which leaves the potential for your rear bumper to get a few scratches.
The one piece solo bike rack is a great idea and it works pretty well. It should be stronger (at least to give me a better feeling that it's secure). It's easy to put on the car (2009 Outback). I have to use a couple of extra straps to secure the bike to the solo. It's good for local trips -- I don't think I would take it on the Interstate for hundreds of miles.
