BIKE RACKS BLOG

I’m going to show you a picture of a really cool Bike Rack that I found online at Stacks And Stacks, and then I want you to tell me that movie it reminds you of! Okay? Cool! No scrolling down to see the answer, either – no cheating!! Okay, ready? Here’s a picture of the Bike Rack – 2 Bike Road Comfort Stand:

Okay, I’ll give you 3 guesses to tell me what movie that looks like. No, not Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. He only had one bike, and it didn’t look anything like these two bikes. Guess again. I’ll give you a hint, think of a movie that is computerized! Okay, go! No, not Ghost Rider. He had only one bike, too. And his head was computerized. I’ll give you another clue, think of the word electronic. ElecTRONic. Okay, go! No, it’s not Wargames.  Yes, the kid was on a bike, but he wasn’t IN a computer! Okay, you give up. It’s TRON. The movie TRON. Remember Tron? Look at this!!!

That Bike Rack – 2 Bike Road Comfort is totally a Lightcycle from Tron! Well, it’s not the lightcycle part really, but when the bikes are on the rack, they look exactly the same. Which is really cool. And it made me think about the future and how bike racks will change in the future and how the Bike Rack – 2 Bike Road Comfort is going to be probably the benchmark for modern bike rack innovations in the years to come. And why not. Why struggle with obstructed walkways, damage to vehicles and wasted space when this bike rack does it all? Really! This space-saving bicycle rack is designed to hold two bikes of any style no matter what you and your family’s preference in bikes. The supercool, revolutionary design of this 2-bike stand accommodates front basket bikes, free-style bikes, hybrids and those BMX bikes if you have them, too! This garage bike rack keeps bicycles out of your way, yet is easily accessible with its patented nesting feature and narrow configuration that allows for a full walk space between the bikes and your vehicle, JUST LIKE TRON! Perfect for garages, apartments, dorms and basements, this bicycle storage rack eliminates bicycle sprawl, by establishing a consistent return-to location for a more organized space. It’s that cool. So make sure you think of Tron when you go shopping for a new Bike Rack, and be sure to pick up this awesome Bike Rack – 2 Bike Road Comfort! Good luck!

Check that guy out. Is he crazy? If he’s crazy, then he’s only going to be crazy for a few more seconds, because he’s about to splatter his brains all over the riverbed rocks. Ha-ha. But no, he’s not crazy! He’s a base-jumper, and he has a parachute. You can read about his crazy adventures right here on this cool bike blog that isn’t related to my bike blog. As much as it’s neat that he jumped of a cliff on a bike to base jump, I kind of resent that the bike is going to get destroyed, just in the name of fun. The bike doesn’t get a parachute, does it? No, I didn’t think so. It’s kind of like dog fights, where the dogs kill each other. Is that cool? No, it is not. I don’t like busted up bicycles and I don’t like dead animals. But anyway, the thing to look for in the picture above, is the gravity. No, you can’t see the gravity, but it’s there, believe me. If it wasn’t there, the guy wouldn’t need a parachute. And I wouldn’t be writing about gravity! Ha-ha. Okay, Gravity is pretty serious when you race off the edge of a cliff, but it’s pretty cool when you’re on the website Stacks and Stacks!

The space-saving Gravity Bike Rack holds 2 bicycles and helmets securely and needs no installation! Just choose a location and place the bike-rack against any wall. That’s all! No drilling into walls, and no mounting hardware. Pretty darn cool, dudes and dudettes! For added convenience, this unique bike storage stand has two hooks to hang riding helmets. Rubber pads on the back of the rack protect your wall. Perfect for apartments, condos, garages, homes and anywhere space is limited or permanent markings are prohibited. So think about that, the next time you can’t stand the situation you’re in, and want to jump off a cliff. Gravity is real, and it is dangerous, and it can kill you dead. But in the meantime, you can order this awesome Gravity Bike Rack from Stacks And Stacks.

I got so many nice letters about my movie review, that I’ve decided to do it again! Ha-ha! This time, instead of going to the video store, I decided to watch a movie on the line, from the Netflix, on the computer. My wife showed me how to do it, well, actually, she did it for me. The computer part.  I just watched it. It was called “Quicksilver” with Kevin Bacon, and it featured a whole bunch of bikes, and frustratingly, not a lot of bike racks, which is crazy because it took place on the fast streets of New York! Kevin plays a guy from way out of town, who gets a job with his rich uncle who owns a giant skyscraper business. The uncle has pity on him, and gives him a job as a bicycle courier. Kevin schemes to get to the top of the company by pretending to be a guy who got fired, and he does that guy’s job out of his vacant office, while still doing his bicycle courier job. Then the Uncle’s new wife starts hitting on Kevin, which is weird, but Kevin is in love with the Uncle’s mistress who is charge of Domestic Shipping. Then he discovers a secret that could get them all killed, and races around the streets of Little Italy and Hell’s Kitchen to stop the Russian Mob from killing the mistress, who he loves. It ends with a huge duel between Kevin’s bicycle and the mobster’s van. The aunt turns out to be an undercover FBI agent, and they stop the mob, and arrest the Uncle, who was bad, in a huge sting. The sting was called “Operation Quicksilver”. Kevin marries the mistress, and takes over the company. Man, it was some movie. But dude, NO BIKE RACKS.

So I guess I give “Quicksilver” no stars, because it had no bike racks. Sorry, Kevin. Maybe “Taking Chance” has more racks. I don’t know, because I only have Showtime. And now it’s time to show you something cool!

Look at that beauty! I know! After and hour and a half of watching a movie with NO bike racks, it was cool to get back to Stacks and Stacks to look at their wide selection of racks for bikes! This one is awesome, it’s a Free Standing 4-Bike Rack, which they sure could have used in the movie with the four main characters of Kevin, the Uncle, the Mistress, and the Aunt who was an FBI agent! The Free Standing 4-Bike Rack is a totally high quality, built-to-last bicycle storage rack that can accommodate a ton of different styles of bikes! And it’s perfect for families and people who collect multiple bikes (of different kinds). It’s got a rad durable powder coated steel frame with a ton of epoxy coating for maximum protection against the rough garage environment, or wherever it ends up (if Kevin had it, it would be New York City). The bicycle rack is easy to assemble, with no tools required, so it’s perfect for the average user! Which isn’t me, might be you, and certainly isn’t anywhere to be found in “Quicksilver”! Ha-ha! Good luck!

Let’s face it, criminals are scum, and crooks are bastards. They take what is not theirs and they give nothing back to the community. They have no class, no common sense, and no soul. Bicycle thieves are the worst of the worst, because if they steal your bike, your walking home. Thanks, crook. But thank heavens there are ways to stop these scumbags in their tracks, short of what we SHOULD do to them, which would be remove their hands like in the bible, because it’s not so easy to cut through my bike lock with no hands now, is it punk? The ways we can protect ourselves from these monsters are many, and most of them involve bike racks, believe it or not! The National Crime Prevention Council has a rad list of suggestion on how to keep what is yours yours, and not let those scum crooks make off with your bike. If I were you I get someone to help me print that page out, and either take it with you to remember, or memorize it. it could really save your bike! And so can this Gravity Bike Rack from Stacks and Stacks!

No bolts, No screws, No installation! You have to see it to believe it. Just rest this well-built bike rack against any wall in your garage, mudroom, or basement. This rack is 26″ wide at the base, and extends outwards 19″ from the wall, and uses a beefy, semi-circular base at a 45 degrees angle for stability! Hang two bikes from their top tubes, and you’ve solved a big storage problem in close-to-the-wall space you’ll never miss! Made from a durable baked enamel metal with padded feet and wall brace, this thing is tough! Independently adjustable arms keep both bikes completely level regardless of frame design, so it’s all good when you rack them! If only I could carry this bike rack out with me wherever I went, I sleep well knowing my bike would never get stolen! Well folks, be safe out there. It’s a dangerous place and you might get killed. Good luck!

All the time always people hope that the day will come that bikes have a new feature: the ability to fly. Man, wouldn’t that be something? Just riding up off a hill, through the air, and over the trees. Man, a flying bike. Alice, even today with all our future advances, bikes still can’t fly. But I was thinking about it out on my ride today. SHOULD bikes be able to fly? The more and more I thought about it, the more I think the answer is NO. DEFINITELY NO.

See, people are historically ungood bike riders. They tend to hit things, not like “the spot” or “it rich”, but things like tree stumps, telephone poles, and moving cars. So I think if bikes could FLY, people might start raining death down from above, smashing into houses at dinner, taking out schoolyards, landing in the middle of freeways. It probably wouldn’t be pretty, and it probably wouldn’t be fun. So maybe bikes should never fly. Now that I think about it, the closest a bike should ever come to flying is this Bike-Away Hoist from Stacks And Stacks.

Look at this guy! Ha-ha. It’s like he’s HOLDING the bikes up! He’s not, though — these bikes can’t fly, silly! No bikes can! But see what I mean? A bike in the air, secured and hoisted, is not so dangerous as a person on a flying bike. There is safety. The situation is under control. And it’s a great way to rack a bike! The Bike-Away Hoist gets the job done, and right! It helps you with the storage of up to 80 lbs. of bicycles (that means two) to an overhead position with almost no effort. And you can prevent tangling your legs up with pedals and handlebars by getting bikes up and out of the way! It’s a simple, safe, and convenient way to store bicycles (and get them down) without the use of dangerous step ladders. The rack is zinc plated steel, vinyl-coated and permanently lubricated. It also requires minimal assembly, and it mounts to any wall in minutes! So keep those bikes on the ground when you ride them, friends, but up in the air when you rack them! Good luck!
