My bike has a rear rack, but my wife's bike doesn't, but could this seat fit over a rear rack without issue?

yes it will fit a bike without a rear rack. Check the description of the seat first because there are a few bikes that it won't fit at all.We are very pleased with this bike seat and would definitely recommend it to anyone who ask about it.

Probably not. I had to take the rack off of my Schwinn Coffee to mount this. If the rack is VERY narrow, you might be able to make it work, but I would consider it a bonus if it did. The seat comes off with the push of a button, so I just use a large messenger bag now, instead of the rack.

I'm not sure if I'm answering this question properly, but I believe the answer is yes, the seat will fit on a bike with a rear rack. I have the seat mounted on a Schwinn that has fenders and a little wire shelf over the rear fender. The seat is attached to the bike seat pole via two suspension bars that hook into a bracket mounted to the pole, so it sort of "floats" above the back tire. There are some specifics about the size and style of the seat post that restrict the use of this child bike seat. If you go to the Britax website there is a video that shows you the specifics.

If your rear rack is wider than 5 1/2 inches then it may not fit. Otherwise I think it will actually work out nicely. You do have the flexibility to move the bracket up and down the main stem of the seat in order to have the seat sit higher or lower

I am not sure. I bought a Huffy bike that had a built on back rack over the back wheel. It is a spring loaded system so unless it is smaller than the base, I would think it would work. Amazon is always good about returns

Not all bike racks are the same. I have a Transit bike rack and have about .25" clearance above the fender.

I am with Brian S. on this, you will need a "Seat Post Mounted" Rack for your bike.

with the rack it will be easier then with our bike....it has 2 straps that clip to one side under the rack and clip to the other side... we had to loosen the rear fender supports and run the straps between the supports and rear fender...hope this helps

I'm not familiar with that bike, it fits my shadow. I wpild say if you can put a rack on the back it woud work, Iv been very happy with mine.

No, it doesn't need a rear rack at all. It actually provides its own rear rack, behind the seat. But the seat itself is kept above the wheel by the rods below it and by the attachment to the main seat stem. I had a lot of trouble getting the bike mounted on my bike, though...Some bikes work better for it than others.

you might find a rack 1st, that you like,and then ask the manufacturer of the rack if it will install on this particular bike.other than that, it may be hit or miss,installing your/a rack onto this bikemarc

Should work fine. Bike is held in place by lower tire track and upper sliding arm which would rest over fender.

Probably, the only question would be is do you have disc brakes on the rear. If you do them no it would not. Other then that as long as your bike has the mounting holes, this rack should work. I forget which bike we put this rack on but, I do remember having to drill a hole and tap it to accommodate one of our bike/rack combinations.

I don't know for sure. But I do not think so. The bikes are fairly close to the back. Around 2 feet maybe, maybe less. My buddy has the four place bike rack. As long as you didn't need to take four bikes. It would allow for the extra room you might need.

no. this rack will not fit a bike with rear suspension. it bolts to the seat stays up by the seat and down by the axle which won't allow suspension movement. you will probably need a seatpost mounted rack such as: http://www.amazon.com/Ibera-Bicycle-Seatpost-mounted-Commuter-IB-RA1/dp/B002T5GHNI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422749113&sr=8-1&keywords=seatpost+rack+bicycle

As long as the bike has sharp lines it will be fine. If the bike has a curve that goes straight down in the middle you will need a bar that attaches the bike to the rack. Not a big deal.

Yes, just slide the wheel trays inward. Height should be ok, as I think the center post is high enough, but I haven't put a regular bike on the rack. I don't have one or I'd try...

My bike is similar to a cruiser, and it fits. The issue is how much space is on the metal frame below the seat and before the other part of the frame juts out for the attachment to properly lock onto the frame. Most cruisers have enough space, but I couldn't tell you it will fit for sure.

Hello Michele, I'm not sure the exact set-up of a Schwinn Cruiser bike seat and post so I'll answer your question best I can. If under the seat there are two support rails that run the length of the seat (front to back) and a seat post I don't think there would be any problem. The only thing that I can think that might be a hindrance would be if there are any reflectors on the back of the seat that could possibly get in the way. I've used mine on my road bike and both my mountain bikes and had no problem fitting on each one of them. Hoped this helped and happy riding.
