    I Won a (Pink) Bike Rack! W00t!

    I went to Cyclefest 2008 at a local park here in the area on Sunday despite constant drizzle and high 40's temperatures. I learned a lot, met a new person or two, and apparently won a pink Saris Bones bike rack!! I'm not sure of all the details but I know it was a Saris and that it was pink.

    They left a voicemail on my office number yesterday that I just got today and haven't yet talked to anyone about it but I'm so excited! DH has already said he isn't going to drive the car if it has a pink rack which suits me just fine. We have a hitch rack on the Camry and a dinky-trunk rack from Wal-Mart on my old Sentra. Needless to say, it'll be replacing the rack from Wal-Mart on my Sentra. I've been wanting a Bones because I have a spoiler and need the clearance and now I have one and it's pink!

    He has a bit of an aversion to pink, yes. :P

    Hey, that's a nice rack even if it is pink (said the woman who bought a bike based on pink accent color)

    Does it replace the rack I saw?

    Zen, no. it doesn't replace the hitch rack on the Camry. Instead it will replace the dinky rack on my Sentra that is such a bad example of a bike rack it shouldn't even be called that.

    I imagine whenever I drive that car around I'll be hard to miss.
