The SportRack Pathway Bike Carrier is one of the simplest and easiest bike carriers to use. The rust-resistant carrier has very few moving parts as it has only two plates that clamp together to hold your bikes in place. The clamps place sufficient space between the bikes and tightly holds each bike so they don't sway and bang into each other. Aside from ease of use, the clamp-on mechanism allows the Pathway Bike Carrier to fit bicycles with oversized or heavily flared bars. The adjustable clamp has rubber paddings to hold the bike securely and protect the paint finish. The padded ridges can hold multiple bikes. Easily attaches to 1.25-inch or 3.2 cm and 2-inches or 5 cm hitch receivers. It features a no-wobble hitch pin for a stable hold. When not in use, the carrier can be folded and if you need to open your SUV or truck's rear door, it easily tilts away to allow access.

SportRack is a company that designs and manufactures racks, crossbars, and carrier systems for cars, SUVs, trucks, and even carriers. SportRack is a brand that enables people with active lifestyles to carry their cargo, recreational equipment, and outdoor gear on their vehicles. They specialize in building easy to install and easy to take off systems that do not permanently modify a vehicle in any way.

The company is located in Granby, Quebec, Canada, and started operating in 1980 by manufacturing ski racks for snow sports enthusiasts. Their success in this field encouraged the company to diversify its products by creating carriers for bicycles, kayaks, canoes, snowboards, and other cargo. Most of SportRack's products are innovative storage solutions that utilize a vehicle's roof or hitch receiver.

In 2006, SportRack was acquired by Thule, a large cargo and recreational equipment carrier company. Even with the merger, SportRack still continued producing products that focus on the company's special outdoor market niche. Today, SportRack's range of products includes roof rack systems, and roof-mounted cargo boxes, bike, watercraft, and snowsport carriers, hitch and trunk/hatch mount bike carriers, and accessories. All of their products follow SportRack's template of building easy to mount, easy to load cargo and recreational systems.
