Head First into a New Bike Rack Purchase!

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.

Multi-Task Force Bike Rack Superior.

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!).

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!

Back and Rack and Bikes and Likes!

Filed under: Bike Rack Adventure, Car Bike Racks, The Cutting Edge — Larry @ 5:05 pm

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.

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!

Shasta McNAFTA. How the NAFTA Freeway should really think about adding a Bike Lane.

I’m like you. I think the NAFTA freeway is a bummer. Because all these things are weird about it. First, it goes all the way through the county, without stopping, from Mexico to Canada, so now illegal people will be able to just drive into our country, and terrorists too, they can just drive in. Scary. And second, it will divide the country in half, and we will no longer be able to travel from the West USA to the East USA, or send mail, or call on the phone. Once the NAFTA freeway is built, you better like the side you live on. And third, it’s not going to be built from normal asphalt — they’re going to use mountains from national parks, and break them down, and use them. Starting with Mount Rushmore. Man, the world sure is changing fast. I just hope that when the make the freeway, they add a bike path, a bike lane, to it. So the foreign people have the option of being fit and healthy and going for a nice bike ride. Because oh yeah, did I mention? No Americans will be able to go on the NAFTA Freeway. Only non-Americans. Kind of a Bummer. Oh, well. Times change. But value never changes. You know what else I found out about (besides that Obama isn’t really an American)? This awesome Free Standing Bike Rack from Stacks and Stacks.

It’s probably the opposite of the NAFTA freeway. It’s cool, and it’s strong, and it’s black powder coated, and it could easily be called a steel framed free standing bike rack, one that gives you a storage option for your bikes that does not take up a huge footprint in your garage. Because footprints leave a trail. And that’s not cool, or organized, or anything you want in a bike rack. Since this unit is free standing it gives you the option of placing the rack anywhere! Anywhere! You decide, not like the NAFTA freeway, because we didn’t get to decide on that. They just started building it without telling us. But it’s okay, because this bike rack looks stylish and is able to handle up to 200 lbs worth of bikes. No wall required! Use it inside or outside, this rack can handle any bike holding job! So there you go. It’s a crazy world, but at least we can always count on Bike Racks to keep our bikes safe and secure, you know? Because it’s not like Chuck Norris is running for President or anything.

Oh wait, Chuck Norris IS running for President. Of Texas. Wow. Well, good luck!

Tired of the Same Old Tires? Then try Looking at these Big Crazy Tires!

Filed under: Safe And Secure, The Cutting Edge — Tags: — Larry @ 2:19 pm

Ha-ha! look at those tires! they are really huge! Ha-ha! A scientist in Harvard made these for a vacation he took to the beach in California. I think he overdid it! Ha-ha! The guy built these from tires that weren’t even supposed to BE for bikes, and he made it work. And now, with his crazy Big Wheels of Tires, he can bike in place that I’ve never been able to bike before: on top of the sand, and on the ocean. That’s wild. Wild! I guess the sight of a guy riding a bike out on the sand was crazy, and all the beach people were all like “WHAT?!” and he was all “look at my big tires!” and then he drove past the sand, into the ocean, and he was all “I can drive my bicycle over water itself!” and everyone was shock and the coast guards though he was a terrorist and shot him dead. That’s the sad reason that you won’t be buying his invention anytime soon: it’s Exhibit C in a pending wrongful death trial. It’s safe to say, his invention died with him. What didn’t die, though, is value at Stacks and Stacks. It’s here to stay.

Look at this awesome Bike Rack For 6 Bikes with Top Rack-Carbon Steel I found! Dude, for real. This easy to use bike rack stores up to 6 bikes upright! Not 5, 6!! It’s got a sleek euro styled powder coated steel frame that cradles front wheels securely and conveniently, and a heavy duty carbon steel frame that uses plastic inserts at all connections to eliminate metal to metal contact that can lead to rust and corrosion and all those darn hardware and assembly tools are included and that means you can use it also as an accessory storage rack that holds helmets, book bags and more! Pretty cool. And while it’s innovative, I think it’s also safe to say the inventor of this beauty is not wrongfully dead. No, he’s totally rich!

Trees are the Days you’ll Look Back On and Smile. While on your Bike.

Filed under: Bike Rack Tree, The Cutting Edge — Tags: — Larry @ 11:53 am

These days a lot of people are getting nuts about trees and melting snow and smokestacks and pollution and the end of the world. I don’t think there’s any global warming, and I don’t think there’s any pollution wrecking the environment. It’s called summer, people. It’s okay. But everyone is all “aaaaah” about planting tress and whatnot. I don’t think we need REAL trees, we need Bike Tree. The fine fellows over at the site called “Bike Tree” agree, and they have a nicer version of the future than the one that crazy end of the world pollution polar caps melting people seem to want. Imagine a whole lot more of bike trees springing up all over the place. People would be startled at first, then they would be excited, then they would all start riding bike and cars would become irrelevant. Maybe THAT would make these freaky global warming people happy. But who cares. Fans of bike racks would need to go to the hospital to remove the smile! Bike rack tress, everywhere? Well, not today. But we can start with this crazy cool Bike Tree. One tree at a time, right?! Right!

Now, don’t think this is some kind of re-do of an older, more useless bike tree. No way. Ha-ha. This Heavy Duty Bike Tree is a new bike storage system. This bicycle rack holds two bikes on its patented arm assembly that can move up and down as well as side to side for perfect positioning. And what makes this bike tree so cool, so really special, is that it holds any style of bike! Think about that for one second, then TRY not to order one! It features a powder coated steel tube construction that is both durable and stylish! And get ready, because this unique bike rack stands 84″ tall and the vinyl coated arms will not scratch or mar the paint! Dude, really. AND it holds up to 120 pounds and requires some assembly, no tools needed!
Pretty sweet. Pretty wild. Pretty bike rack! Good luck!

Coin Up, Bikes Down: This Bike Rack Reminds Me of TRON.

Filed under: Free Standing Bike racks, The Cutting Edge — Tags: — Larry @ 2:37 pm

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!

Might As Well Jump: Gravity and Bikes and Cliffs.

Filed under: Free Standing Bike racks, The Cutting Edge — Tags: — Larry @ 2:42 pm

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.
