Both are cool racks! The top one is a really cool design. And how neat to have a place to park your bikes inside. You KNOW you work for a cool company when parking is indoors. :cool:
We hardly have any bike racks around here- so I can't take pictures. It's the reason I don't ride to the grocery store or to run errands- there's truly no place to lock my bike up securely. Too bad. :(
I think I need to move someplace like the PNW.... ;)
My thought exactly! The only bike racks around here are at the libraries and on campus--oh, and at the YMCA. Nothing cool like the pix posted above.Quote:

I agree...and we are working on it! Truly.Quote:

Apparently, when they asked the cyclists who worked here where they'd most like the rack to be located, all of them said "rack? I'd never leave my bike on a rack!". That's right...cycling here is appararently an opportunity to show off your income...and in so doing, no one wants to leave their bikes out of their sight. How's that for a twist? :p
Everyone rides, but we have no bike racks. :eek:
I have no cool rack to show, but I was wondering how long you've wanted to use that line Trek. :eek:
In climbing we call our collection of gear one's 'rack'. Obviously, many dirty jokes and innuendos are said.
No pics of bike racks, but I do have this....

Hee hee, and you notice how Susan's the 2nd post? Imagine Susan thought bubble here:Quote:

Susan, which bike's Kits?
we also have nifty converted parking meters to use as bike racks now. Looks like Seattle and Berkely have both done this - when the parking was switched over from individual meters to kiosks, some of the old meters were converted to bike racks by taking off the meter heads and attaching a place to put your lock through securely. Berkely put big half circles on theirs. Seattle attached a big cut out bike emblem. http://www.seattle.gov/transportatio...irclerack2.jpg
Of course I think the rail racks (a rack that is basically just a railing about 54" long) that are all around the city are the most elegant solution. They park bikes parallel to the street so they take up little space even when occupied and are almost unnoticable when not occupied.
I wanna know too! I figured it was the leopard print was hers. :rolleyes:Quote:

I'd still prefer it to be out of the weather but that's not going to happen.
Hah. Yeah, that pic was taken in the winter. We've been better about sorting and re-hanging gear recently, but usually it just lives in a pile on the floor or in the pack in the back of our car... but thats really 2 racks up there, The Boy's and Mine, so we rarely use more than 1/2 of that when we're out.

Nah, I didn't think she's the leopard print.Quote:
