BIKE RACKS BLOG

No, don’t be scared. Not a REAL UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT! It’s a Hoist Monster! As I’ve hopefully showed everyone, there are just so many wonderful ways to Rack Bikes, from “old school” ways to cutting edge new ways as well also. But totally the coolest way is hanging them up from the ceiling in the air above the ground. Not only is is a conversation starter (”Hey Larry, how did you get that bike in the air?”), it’s also a handy way to keep clutter and un- organization off the floor and keep it out from underfoot by putting it mid-air. Sometimes these devices are called Hoists. And sometimes… they’re called UFOs.

I should have saved this post for Halloween, but I just couldn’t wait! Ha-ha! It’s the Hoist Monster from Stacks and Stacks! It doesn’t look like a UFO, and it doesn’t look scary, but I guess what it scares away is clutter and un-organization, both of which should be very scarred of it, ha-ha. It’s a real tough device, which gives you piece of mind, and it also features a limited lifetime warranty, which is EVEN BETTER piece of mind. AND everything’s included for easy ceiling installation. It’s a great way to rack! This monster has covered all the bases, no doubt about it. It’s really the nicest monster I have ever met. And I’ve met some monsters! And seen some UFOs! Okay, bye.

Everyone is telling me that the world is getting kinda tense these days, and that maybe it’s all going to end soon. I hadn’t really noticed, because I like to keep my mind positive and upbeat, but I have some good advice for everyone if they’re feeling tense: go out and ride a bike. It sounds crazy, but it really helps with stress and tension and bad thoughts. Simply put, you just outrun your trouble! The faster you pedal, the less you have any bad feelings! I bike ride at least four times a day, and I tell you, I’ve never been happier! The one tension I allow in my life, the ONLY tension, is a tension I recommend to you:

The Bike Tension Storage Rack from StacksandStacks.com is a dream come true, and a great way to store your bikes! I enjoy Stack’s entire selection of Bike Racks, but this model is a real treat. It works in the same principle as those neat bathroom shower tension rods, except it holds bikes! It adjusts between 7′6″ to 9′6″, so you’re covered, wherever you need it. The Bike Tension Storage Rack’s easy-adjust arms will hold up to 4 bikes. But trust me, 4 bikes is a job for the Tension rack. If YOU feel tension, all you need is one bike. Take a deep breath, and bicycle your way to happiness. Its power source is you. Which is good, because my friends tell me that soon gasoline and electricity may be tough to come by.

Holy smokes, those bikes look like they’re on “Dancing With the Stars”! Ha-ha. But they’re not – they’re actually racked on one of the coolest, most efficient bike rack/sports rack combos I have ever seen! The amazing Bicycle and Sports Rack from our pals at STACKS AND STACKS is a treasure for not only bike aficionados, but sports fans as well!

The Bicycle and Sports Rack is perfect for storing up to 4 bikes at a time, with a narrow design that makes storage a snap. If you’re garage is as cramped as mine, you’ll certainly dig that feature! But the neatest feature this rack features is completely unexpected – let’s take a closer look:

Awesome! It’s like a sports locker AND a bike rack, ALL IN ONE! That’s pretty cool. And for a parent of some serious little sports-crazy kids, keeping all their sports stuff all in one place makes me and my wife’s life a lot easier. Balls, skateboards, even my girlfriend’s ski poles will fit on that rack. That’s really cool. The folks who created the Bicycle and Sports Rack really know what they’re doing.

Sometimes stuff piles up, and if your sporting equipment is piling up, and you want to rack them all in one place, this is your ticket to bike and sports rack perfection. The Bicycle and Sports Rack is a terrifically cool way to stay organized! Take it from me, this is a great way to keep your garage and bikes and gear clutter-free! (It also makes a unexpected and thoughtful gift, as the holidays are close. Trust me, they’ll love it!).

I’ve been informed by my attorney that I shouldn’t talk about what happened, but I can keep talking about bike racks!  And speaking of a court case that hasn’t happened yet, check out the joker at THIS SITE.  What a rip-off, guy.  Get ready to get sued.  Anyway, I found a terrific bike rack solution that I’d like to share with you!

This car bike rack provides the ultimate in flexibility to accommodate today’s wide variety of bike frame designs while still maintaining all the advantages of having a hitch mounted bike rack!  Cool!   This rack holds three bikes and rotates to allow your bikes to be carried with the wheels level to the ground and provide greater clearance.  Awesome!  Other features include a locking knob for added security and soft vinyl cushioning, which is grooved for cables and provides a secure, scratch free ride for your bike. Can accommodate up to a 2 inch frame tube. Hey and you can get it at Stacks and Stacks dot com so go get it, bros and ladies!  K bye.

Hi friends, I’m still out here, still alive. I’m in Oklahoma. And I’m in a farm house. A nice couple offered me a bed and a hot meal, and everything seemed okay, but I’m starting to think that I’m in trouble out here. At least my laptop gets the wi-fi out here, so I can share this with you. Being out here is kind of creepy. This nice couple found me sitting in front of a Del Taco, alone and with my lap top, and they asked if I needed a place to stay, and boy did I, but now, after being at their creepy farmhouse, and having had what can only be called the weirdest dinner of all time, and now that I’m sitting in the creepiest basement of all time, I’m going to have to say that maybe this was all a bad idea, and I need to split. Quickly. The wife made this weird “soup” that was pretty much just water and biscuit dough with “fresh” raspberries, and while I was trying to eat it, they kept asking me about why I was dressed in a biking outfit with no bike. When I explained about my ex-wife cheating, and burning the house down, and the Bike Racks Blog, they just laugh and laughed. And kept laughing. Which was weird. Then the husband said that he thought Bike Racks should be used like horse ties in western towns, so you just tie your horse to it when you ride to the saloon, and then the wife said something even weirder. She said that bike racks should be used like stockades in the old days, and that prisoners or criminals should be chained to them. Yeah, she really said that. I couldn’t really finish my meal after that. Not at all. So weird. And neither one of them had ever ridden a bike. Weirder. And this house smells like bad salami. The basement smells worse. So when the sun comes up, I’m taking as much food and supplies as I can carry, and I’m leaving. Until then, I was looking for something pleasant to take my mind off of the weirdness, and I was surfing the site Stacks and Stacks. I found this awesome Bike Box that really took me back, back to when the world made sense…

I could have totally used this box yesterday, to sleep in, even though it isn’t waterproof. But, it wouldn’t have mattered, because this is the strongest double wall corrugated-cardboard bicycle box on the market. Includes rigid CORR-X Frame Plate, all the tie downs, re-inforced handholds, liners, foam chocks and even the H-Strap System. That really rocks, man. And the box is fully collapsible, and easily stored when not in use. Awesome. And it’s good for 5-10+ trips. Man, the more I think about it, the more I miss my bike. : ( Well, friends, I hope you still have your bikes. And a cool bike box to go with them. If I make it out of here alive, I’ll keep blogging. If I don’t, you’ll know what happened. Good luck!!

Hi, friends. I made it out of that horrible, horrible storm, and down the highway to a small town called Bennet Falls. Having not slept much lately and feeling really kind of down in the dumps, I really needed some hot coffee to pick up my spirits. But, sadly, all I have in the world now is my bike and laptop. No money. And as I’m not going to sell the bike or the laptop, I took a self-serve cup from 7-11 and panhandled a bit, right on the highway off ramp. I guess my appearance — mud-soaked bike tights and three-day beard — convinced some kind people that I could use some spare change. I asked them if they read Bike Racks Blog, but no one seemed to have heard of it. Maybe they don’t get the internet here in Bennet Falls. But I had one dollar and thirty two cents, so I went back to the 7-11 to get coffee. I guess I was kind of out of it, sleep-wise, because I forgot to chain up my bike. And as I came out with my hot coffee, I realized my beloved bike had been stolen. STOLEN. It was gone. Gone. All I had now was my laptop, and coffee. Hot coffee. After the incident with my now ex-wife, the burning the house down incident, I figured my life couldn’t get any worse. But here we are. At least I still have this blog. You, my friends, are all that is left for me. You’re my reason to press on. And I will — with my laptop — I will continue to travel around the nation to find the coolest bike racks around the country. Cool, like this 2-Bike Gravity Bike Rack from Stacks and Stacks Dot Com!!

It’s a tension bike rack, and it’s the quickest and easiest solution to the age old bicycle storage problem in your home and garage!

Assembly is easy, and all tools needed are included, so you’re practically ready to go when you get it! Whether you have enough space or not, this gravity bike rack is the solution for space-efficient bike storage! That’s pretty cool, friends. So go out and check it out, or better yet, buy one!! And while you’re at it, please consider buying me a new bike. Thanks!! Good luck!

Boy, I wish I brought a jacket with me. And money. And maybe I didn’t get mad at my wife and burn my house down. Oh well. I’m writing this while sitting inside a freezing cold freeway underpass, and it’s raining really hard. It kind of is terrible being out here like this. Oh well. You know, when I’m usually faced with a really bad situation, or trouble, or things that make me feel bad, I usually go for a bike ride. But where do you ride when the freezing rain is coming down in unforgiving sheets? You don’t ride your bike, that’s for sure. So, you are left with your own thoughts. Your own dark, dark thoughts. Wow. I would say ha-ha, but I don’t feel very ha-ha. Dark. And cold. Maybe I will die out here, alone, with nothing but my bike and my laptop. It’s starting to get very dark, and I’m staring to get scared. The lights from the cars on the freeway lets me know that I’m not alone in the world, but it’s also sad. All those people are going somewhere. Somewhere warm. Somewhere with loved ones. Or, at the very least, they could sleep in their warm cars. Cars that keep out the rain and the wind and the small animals and the fear. Sometimes people have bikes that need go be attached to cars, and that’s why it’s very cool that they carry the Car Bike Rack - 3 Bike from Stacks and Stacks!

This terrific Car Bike Rack - 3 Bike can hold your bikes and take them wherever you’re going, if you’re lucky enough to be going by car. And the features, oh the features. This car bike rack features the ultimate in flexibility to accommodate today’s wide variety of bike frame designs while still maintaining all the advantages of having a hitch mounted bike rack! Whew! This rack holds three bikes and rotates to allow your bikes to be carried with the wheels level to the ground and provide greater clearance. Other features include a locking knob for added security and soft vinyl cushioning, which is grooved for cables and provides a secure, scratch free ride for your bike. AND it can accommodate up to a 2 inch frame tube. That’s pretty cool. So remember friends, if you are blessed with not only a vehicle but bicycles as well, then you must do what is right and purchase this amazing Car Bike Rack - 3 Bike. You’ll be glad you did! Good luck!

Okay friends, I’m still out here! I managed to catch some sleep under a big rig parked outside the Dunkin Donuts. No one can steal my bike because I have the best kind of chain and cable and lock you can ever buy, even better than this one. So I woke up and got on my bike and I rode all the way to St. Louis! All right! So now I’m downtown, and I’m having some water and I’m laptop blogging from a McDonald’s at 4004 Lindell Blvd!!

I checked my e-mail, and I see that alot of you are really excited by my trip and new life! So am I! Ha-ha! Some of you also asked about my burned-down house, and my wife and her lover Al, and what is happening with that. Well, I got an email form the sheriff of the town I lived in, and the email said I was wanted for burning the house down, and my wife wants a divorce. Which I laughed at A-LOT because she’s the one who cheated on me! ON ME!! Also, I had a storage space in town, where I stored all of my spare bikes. I guess she’s selling them all. Oh well. I only need the one I have, friends! I’m never going back, even though the sheriff said they are going to hunt me. Hunt me like a rabid dog on the loose. They’re not going to catch me though, friends, because whenever I post a blog, I get the heck out of there fast! So no one will ever know where I’m going next! Ha-ha! But if I were you, I would go over to the site Stacks and Stacks as soon as possible, and get yourself a great bike rack like this Bicycle Stand - 2 Bike Storage System. That’s what I would do!

I write about space-saving storage for your bikes all the time — now you can store two bicycles year-round in HALF the space! Imagine that! I would do it, if I still had a house! Anyway, this efficient bike stand allows you to park two mountain bikes side by side, using only 50% of the space the bikes would normally take by resting on their kickstands. Awesome! It leaves more walking area for you, and more space for cars or storage. The upright design of this handy bike rack keeps bicycles accessible, ensuring a close fit without your bikes’ handlebars or seats getting in each other’s way. Super cool! And sturdy construction features an electro-coated metal tube base with solid steel axle supports and a footpad for easy loading and removal. Wow. It has pretty much everything you could ever want in a bike rack, and that’s alot! I mean, there are some greta bike racks out there, but I like this one in particular because it features That’s pretty terrific, isn’t it? you bet it is!! Okay, friends, I have to go. They just told me if I don’t buy something, I have to leave the McDonald’s on Lindell Blvd . Okay then! Good luck!
