Unidentified Flying Bike Rack Phenomenon (UFBRP)

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.

A Perfect Bike Rack Solution for the Holidays!

Filed under: Safe And Secure, Tension Mount Bike racks, The Cutting Edge — Larry @ 1:07 pm

Everyone is telling me that the world is getting kinda tense these days, and that maybe money stuff is kinda crazy in America. 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.

Raise the Roof! And Rack a Bike!

Well, you certainly don’t have to be a super-human type being to get up on the ceiling. And you don’t have to be a rock climber hang upside down. And you really don’t need to work for the phone company, either. How do you do it? Let me explain to you how. Feast you eyes on some serious awesomeness. This amazing Aluminum Overhead Garage Rack and Hoist takes your bike, and HANGS IT!

Pretty neat, huh? The first time I installed one back in 2003, my kids and I stood and stared. My ex-wife said it looked like a scene out of her favorite film, “E.T. The Extra Terrestrial”. She was exactly right, and the Aluminum Overhead Garage Rack’s tough cam lock and frame is exactly right as well. You know what? It also holds ladders, if your bike is out in the shop. Or you’re out riding it. It’ll actually safely hoist up anything you want, up to 75 pounds! That was great for my cramped garage, when it existed. There just so much stuff around in there, the Aluminum Overhead Garage Rack really helps. It helps your bike “rise above”! (Ha-ha, sorry, bad pun.)

I’d nab one of these Aluminum Overhead Garage Racks quick, and hang your goods up, if I were you. You’ll be envied by your neighbors, and like I said, your kids will love watching things float up there. Mine used to. And my new fiance was so happy after I bought one, that she said that she could overlook all of my “wacky eccentricities” because I finally came though on something I said I could: I made a bike float in the air. Ha-ha! Peace!

Bike Rack Tour Day 4! Scoundrels Stole my Bike, but not my Laptop, or my Hope.

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! The bicycle rack simply leans against the wall, with no wall attachment required; making it perfect for apartments and small storage sheds! The garage bike rack features independently adjustable arms that can accommodate any bike style. The bike rack has a premium quality silver powder coat finish, so it will stand the test of the elements. 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!

Enter the Bike Racktrix: The Amazing Digital World of Bike Racks!

We are totally in a crazy world of digital advances and futuristic computer coolness! They’ve thought of everything! My friend Cutter was showing me all these bike trails and pictures of his bikes and the footage of Lance at the Tour of California, and it was all ON HIS PHONE! Dude! I know. And it seems like even in these days of economic uncertainty, the advances are getting so crazy that soon they will set their sites on the world of bike racks and advance them, too! Why not, they’ve made everything else crazy and futuristic, why not the bike rack or bike stand? I would like to throw out suggestions about what they should do, but if I had ideas about what to make, I WOULD MAKE THEM! Ha-ha. I’d be rich. Anyway, until all the futuristic robot controlled bike racks show up, and start to think for themselves and we fight them, we still have plenty of great racks right here and now!

In these troubling economic times, you need value and dependability. If that’s what you’re after, then you’re after this awesome Aluminum Bike Rack that is Tension Mounted! There’s no minimum to the aluminum here, friends, it’s all aluminum. This rack is sleek and slender and it totally stores up to 2 bikes right out of the box, or you can add more with other attachments. If you look at the web page you’ll see how. It’s cool! It’s got a no-holes tension adjustment that secures the bike rack without wrecking your wall, and in these tough economic times, that’s cool. It adjusts to fit ceilings from 7′ to 11′ — like the convenience store. And that’s convenient. I would say this is a futuristic rack, maybe not crazy futuristic like the new space-age phones and all the internets, but it’s still pretty dang modern. You don’t really need anything more than a roof over your head, a nice family (just like my wife and three daughters), a couple of bikes, and a good place to rack them. All this other crazy technology is just glitter. It’s cool, but you can always just stick to the essentials! Good luck!

The 2 Bike Gravity Rack features independently adjustable arms, and it totally fits just about any style of bike. Well, not the bike picture up above (that crazy red bike of the future thing that might just be a car), but your bike, probably. It just goes to show you that sometimes, neat future things are zippy and fun to look at, but when it comes down to it, the best kind of bike racks and bike stands and 2 bike gravity racks and the kind that are simple and easy to use. Keep it simple, Simon! Good luck!

I Know A Terrific Way To Fight Terror! Guess How!

These days, with all this talk about economic trouble, it’s easy to forget the other scary thing, terror. And I don’t just mean terrorism, which is horrible and awful, but terror in general. Like the terror of finding out your house burned down, or the terror of being hit in the face with a hammer, or the terror of finding out you left the house with wearing deodorant and it’s going to be 100 degrees and you’re going to be in the office giving a report that is important and that girl that you like is going to be sitting right next to the presentation board. Terror. But yo know me, I have answers. ha-ha. And I have the answer to this one, too. Actually, great minds must think alike, because I know the answer, but so do the folks at www.carryabigsticker.com. Because they made this sticker:

The nail has been hit right on the head with this one, boys! How right you are! I’m not 100 percent sure what the no-sign around the gasoline pump means, but I think it means because when you ride a bike, you don’t use any. Because that’s what great about bicycle riding! no matter how stressed out you are, it doesn’t matter when you go out an ride a bike! And when you get home, you feel so much better, that nothing can terrorize you. You’re immune! Terror free. So now your home, and you need a great way to rack that bike. You bet you do! And you should use this great Bike Tension Storage Rack from Stacks And Stacks!

Terror causes tension, bicycle riding takes it away, and the tension bike rack uses tension to rack your bike! That’s called the circle of life! Ha-ha! This rack is also the perfect way to de-clutter your garage. It adjusts easily to fit ceiling heights from 7′6″ to 9′6″. The easy-adjust arms accommodate any bike, and it has a cool, premium-quality silver powder coat finish makes it awesome. Best of all? The rack holds up 4 bikes. So fight terror every day by riding your bike. Just hope no one steals it. That would be terrifying! Good luck!
