Show us your rack

[Flybye]

Here is what an Idaho rack looks like - practical - heavy duty - functional - and cheap!

This rack is made out of pvc pipe and we love it. It holds five bikes, but we need one that'll hold 8

For those of you who asked and those who may have wanted to ask but have been afraid I have attached a scan of the measurements for this rack. Keep in mind that I am not an engineer of any type Not drawn to scale

If you have any questions, I will be glad to help. Send me a pm.

Flybye, You need to build and sell these! Fantastic It's got everything I like, the green thing re-using materials, bikes ... you could retire and live on an island

or better yet, cut and sell, "assembly required"

[Flybye]

Thanks-
I've actually thought about making and selling them. Assembly required or assembled for a small fee. I am waiting to see if my client load (I am a Social Worker) increases in the next month. If it doesn't, I will hit the streets
I could really go for the green effect and strap an assembled one to my back and ride to the nearest city - 25 miles away

What would you guess that one of these would sell for retail? I think there is about $20 in materials and an hour or two of labor.

I'd pay $50 if I saw one at a craft fair or something. It would have to hold 4 bikes, though. If it held 6, I might pay $75 or less if it held less.

That's something I would see and think to myself "hmmm, I could build that myself for $20, or I could just skip the hassle and buy one!"

These are the racks I got installed at my office. This picture was taken the first day the racks were completed. No one had been notified that the racks were finished, but bikes magically appeared.

Maybe if I try this at home I'll get new bikes, too?!?

If you build it...they will come...
