So stringers vertically then? Or are you recommending moving to a different material? Although I have a modest time investment and $ investment in this, dumping five bikes would be much more $I'll just say that there's a HUGE difference between static loading, and dynamic loading when bouncing down a bumpy road. And aluminum fatigues very quickly.
That's a lot of torque on that single attachment point, in the center. You need to at least have another brace as far away from that center as possible, top and bottom. And consider something more resilient, like steel or titanium. Which will make it heavier. Which will make it require more supports.So stringers vertically then?

If mild steel- what wall thickness and tube diameter?
