I’ve got these old Thule racks that don’t hold my new full suspension 29er very well…
I need a new rack ’cause our current one keeps tossing bikes off of it onto the road
I need a Yakima roof rack system because my yakima hitch mount is not big enough to handle the family’s biking needs. It holds four bikes but we need enough space for six. Without the new roof rack, two of our kids will not be able to bike with the rest fo the family on a regular basis.
Honestly, I don’t need it, but my husband want one… and I cannot afford to buy one for him.
Like a fool, I sold my Yakima roof rack after buying a Yakima receiver mounted rack for my wife’s car. While this works great for family outings, it leaves me high and dry when my friends and I need to get ro a race! A new roof rack would be the perfect solution to get our bikes to the races while leaving access to my hatchback for gear and race fuel.
I need a new bike rack as I am riding London to Paris in August and John O’Groats to lands End in support of Prostate Cancer in September 2014 and need a secure way of carrying the bike to the start and carrying it home afterwards.

I need a new Yakima roof rack because my trunk rack only holds two bikes, is some crazy off-brand, and is way old. I have three kids and we all ride bikes. I need more bike carrying capacity!
I bought my rack used and I keep losing pieces while I am driving! Help me so I don’t lose my bike too! Especially on the way to a race. 🙂
I need one cause it will make my bike happy.
I have a new Yakima roof rack I would love a bike rack for it.
Time for a new rack as my 12year old Thule Velovise is on its last legs and I’m not confident putting my Roubaix up there anymore – help a brother out !
Because my friends bikes don’t fit in my car and solo adventures aren’t nearly as fun!
I need a new yakima roof rack as I currently do not have a rack, and have to take the bike apart, which takes too much time
A roof rack would be great. My daughters bike no longer fits in the trunk!
I need a new bike rack because I don’t have one! Commuting daily from Chicago to Wisconsin and back is no fun if I can’t go for a ride on one end or the other. Taking my bike apart and putting it back together on each end is NO fun. So, a Yakima High Roller or Front Loader would be awesome – no more playing “operation” on my bike!
I need a new yakima roof rack because on my weekly trips of 450+ miles to maine and back i carry three bikes but need to take 4 and if i ever want to go by myself this would be much easier
I need a bike rack…period! My son and I are starting to take longer road trips camping, and now he has gotten interested in more offroad biking. He’s 8, so it is very exciting to see him stoked about this new sport. However, we have so much gear, it makes it impossible to throw on the bikes… we love doing things as father son, and this rack would help bring us to that new level! (and make things less frustrating for us!!)
Because my old Anklebiters are bitten.
I need a new Yakima roof rack – and a new bike holder – because my cool new bike’s downtube is too wide for the old one! <3 Yakima!!

I want to take my boy to the trails away from the city!
I need a new Yakima rack as mine just broke the other day 🙁
I need a new roof rack because we started a women’s mountain bike club to get more women into biking! Having the ability to carry an extra bike and pick new ladies up for rides is crucial to overcome the barrier of people being hesitant to venture off on trails on their own. And I love Yakima racks 🙂
I would love a new Yakima High Roller for the 1994 Honda Civic VX I just bought to conserve gas. It gets over 40 mpg, yeah! I have pieced together all the parts to get a Yak rack on top of the car, now just missing a bike carrier. If I win, then I definitely would be a High Roller!!!
I need a new Yakima Roof Rack because my whole family are now riding trails, city sponsored rides, and riding for causes. We love it but I am stuffing bikes in the car because I don’t have enough racks on top of the car.
Me and my specialized could really use a consistent way of getting to the trails besides waiting on my friends with trucks to wanna go ride! This us shy I need a Yakima roof rack !!

I want to put more butts in the car!! We’re a family of three and only have two bike racks for the wagon. We like to take our beagle lucky Roos with us on our outdoor adventures but have to leave him at home when we take the bikes since the third bike has to be put in the back of the wagon with the seat folded down only allowing our daughter to sit in the back instead of lucky and her. The third rack would allow all of us to travel and not have to leave our furry companion behind! 🙂
I need a Yakima roof rack so I get MORE people shredding the trails with me… my trunk can only fit so many bikes!
I would love to win one because I just restored an old 70’s cruiser bike but have no way to haul it on my car other than my Yakima roof rack!! 🙂
I need a new Yakima roof rack because…well…both of the hitch mounted racks on our minivans are Yakima, but it would be nice to have a roof rack and expand carrying capacity,as well as making access more difficult for thieves when we are traveling to bike events.
Because I have more than one friend who needs a ride to the trail @lovingthebike @yakimaracks: http://goo.gl/ia4jN

I need a new Yakima bike rack because I love to ride but transportation is an issue. It is difficult and cumbersome to fit multiple bikes in the back of my Xterra. A new bike rack would allow my wife and I to get out more and enjoy the beautiful outdoors
I need a new Rack because my 9 year old Daughter just got a sweet new MEC mountain bike and I want to take her out riding with me! Too big to fit in the back of the Subaru, so now she needs a bike rack of her very own!
I need this rack because it is badass! You can easily put your bike on without having to remove tires and such. Also it has a nifty lock built in. I NEED THIS RACK!!!! It is better than my rack!! My rack is a little sad 🙁
Winning a Yakima Roof Rack would be the greatest thing to happen to my new 2013 Subaru WRX because currently I have to cram my 29er MTN bike in the back and the tires touch the back of the front seats which after a muddy ride can bring much sadness to see the mud all over my precious WRX. With my bike on the roof then I could #takemorefriends biking with me! 😀

in my car and having to stop several times during a journey of many miles, to
check if the rack is tight. Since my bike suffered a fall from the rack.
I need a new Yakima Roof Rack because I just purchased a used bike from a local bike shop in the town where I work. I don’t yet have a way to transport it to and from my house over an 1 1/2 car ride away. I am new to cycling and this would help me put in more time on the bike at lunch and then in the evenings when I get home.
I need a Yakima bike rack because currently my only options are my girlfriends’ car (when she’s available), or riding through a very bike unfriendly city to the ride. I drive a hatch that won’t fit a trunk style rack and teachers don’t make much money :/

Congratulations, @anellogrande:disqus ….you’re the winner of a new roof rack system from Yakima. Please send an e-mail to us at [email protected] with your address and if you want the Highroller or Frontloader.
I need a new roof rack because I don’t really trust the cheap fork mount roof rack I got from that other brand. That, and I’m getting tired of always having to take my front wheel off.
I need a new Yakima roof rack. I bought a different brand a few years ago, and I actually had a bike fall out of the carrier and bend the front dropout. (was a fork-mounted unit) I moved and I need to carry my bikes to different places to ride now. It’s been complicated to load and unload bikes in my car because I am afraid to use the rack. I can’t afford to have another bike fall out.
I need a new Yakima roof rack, because I keep scratching up my trunk and my bike with the trunk rack.
I need a new yakima roof rack, because the trunk rack I have for my suzuki was purchased used and is rusted. It’s hard to find a trunk rack for a rear spare tire truck. The roof rack would work so much better, because it’s less prone to theft, and safer for our bikes while driving.
