Show us your rack

Bike rack that is

C'mon, whatcha think I meant?

Gotta favorite bike rack? Artistic? Handy? Funky? Nice view of the Thames? Show us your favorite place to park your trusty steed.

This one a nice design is in Seattle.

That leopard print... jersey? is pretty stylin'!

[Susan Otcenas]

Jacket, actually. From Shebeest several years ago. We have a staff member who is a HUGE leopard fan. Apparently, she has a leopard spotted derailleur. I kid you not.

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.

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....

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.

I really would move to the PNW if money were no object, and I didn't need a job, and I could get the Chief to leave the southeast, and my dog was OK with it, and.......well, you get the idea.

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


We also have no bike racks to speak of...certainly no cool ones. I asked about getting one at work and you wanna know the reason why they didn't bother? 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?
Everyone rides, but we have no bike racks.

my rack is my trunk with the back seats folded down

[Trek420]

Flybye, did you make that? It's cool.

chibiker, welcome to TE

[sandra]

Flybye, I love your rack. We live on a lake and I convinced my DH to make a rack out of pvc to hold our fishing rods. I just showed him this and he's ready to make one! (I'd love to have the measurements)

[Jiffer]

Here's the bike closet where Baby hangs out next to, umm, whatever Dh calls his bike. I think he calls him, "Bike".



Here's Burley, our trusty tandem.




And above Burley, hangs Dh's MTB.







Kid's don't get special hanging devices. Of course, what kid wants to mess around with taking a bike on and off a hanging device? Especially one that weighs a lot more than ours!

And thus ends our aresenal of cycling devices.

I'm trying to find out how to get a couple of those parking-meter-turned-bike-rack critters put in the old parking meter sockets in front of our clinic. Right now patients are bringing bikes in and parking them in our staff lunchroom or locking them to the stair railing (eek!)

Gotta be diplomatic and approach the owner of the building space we rent in a nice way, and make it sound like it *must* be his idea to put the racks in, really... cuz the city of Seattle won't put them in unless the building owner fronting the city sidewalk ok's the deal.

I think they are awesome lock-ups, and even when bikes aren't locked to them they increase bike conciousness in the general public.
