Jeez, how about this guy? He’s headin’ for a brusin’ — or crusin’ for a hurtin’. If only we could save him from his fate, with like a really neat futuristic device that could change the way gravity works, like really just make sure he didn’t clobber his face and more importantly wreck that sweet bike, simply by using a device that could stop gravity in it’s tracks and by extension stop this guy and his bike in their tracks so he didn’t wreck that cool bike and break face, which he’s about to do. Man, too bad it’s only 2010 (almost 2011, ha-ha) and no one has invented that futuristic thing yet, and when they do, they should invent a futuristic time machine so they can go back in time and stop this guy from eating it. But hey, maybe he didn’t crash his bike into that rock, sending him over the edge of that cliff, maybe gravity DID stop, maybe gravity stopped, and everyone was so freaked out that some forward-thinking guy actually had time to go run and get his camera and take a photo of this biker floating in midair. Maybe. I doubt it. You don’t mess with gravity. But what I don’t doubt, is the coolness of this similarly titled bike-rack, the Gravity Bike Rack. Cool!! Right? It’s from Stacks.

A bicycle stand built for two! 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. 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. Arms can be partially rotated. Bike rack extends 12.5″ from the wall. Made of sturdy steel tubing. Weight limit is 100 pounds. Good luck!

Oh my GOD! The New World Order is trying to take away our bike racks AGAIN!! You should read THIS ARTICLE from The Denver Post as fast as possible!! Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes is warning voters that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper’s policies, particularly his efforts to boost bike riding, are “converting Denver into a United Nations community.” “This is all very well-disguised, but it will be exposed,” Maes told about 50 supporters who showed up at a campaign rally last week in Centennial. Maes said in a later interview that he once thought the mayor’s efforts to promote cycling and other environmental initiatives were harmless and well-meaning. Now he realizes “that’s exactly the attitude they want you to have.” “This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms,” Maes said. He added: “These aren’t just warm, fuzzy ideas from the mayor. These are very specific strategies that are dictated to us by this United Nations program that mayors have signed on to.” My GOD — this isn’t a ha-ha moment, this is very real. The UN is going to quite possibly strip away all our human rights, and do it after tempting us bike enthusiasts with the promise of more bike racks and paths!! Anyway, until people figure out that we can have bike racks without UN control, and until people start to think for themselves and we fight the UN, we still have plenty of great racks right here and now!

In these troubling economic times, and even in Denver, 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 girlfriend 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!

Ouch, this bike rack is done. It’s all over for this rack. There will be no more bikes in this rack’s future. It’s broken. Afraid YOU are going to break your bike rack? Don’t worry. All my friends on the Bike Rack Forum have a whole lot to say on the subject, and you can check out here, at this link right here. It seems like these days, besides all the troubling economic news and stories about Tiger Woods, it seems like all the innovations are just getting cooler and cooler! How about a cool way to rack a bike inside your garage or home or apartment, quick and easy? I’m glad you asked, friends, because I have just the thing!

This is a 2 Bike Gravity Rack that is just the best for keeping 2 of your bikes safe and racked. There’s no need for complicated wires and pulleys and nails, as cool as those things are, because this bicycle rack simply leans against the wall! That’s called perfect if you live in an apartments and small storage sheds, it won’t even upset your walls! 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!

These days, in this period of tough economic times, it seems like time is just flying away! It seems like a minute no longer has 60 seconds anymore! It’s all just going so fast, I would totally understand if you were having trouble finding the time to find a really nice, fancy bike rack. I would. And don’t worry, I understand. Sometimes you just need to get that bike racked as fast as possible, and not worry about glitter and nonsense. Sometimes I get carried away with all my excitement for the coolest and newest designs of bike racks, but sometimes these racks are expensive and require a lot of research to make sure you get the right one. It’s okay. I found a great rack for you, that’s prefect and simple and easy and fast!

This is the really cool Bicycle Hook ProStor PIW-1 with an Iron Wedge. Look at that: no fuss, no problems! Ha-ha. Not that bike racks are ever a problem! You store your bikes on the wall or ceiling of your garage with the Iron Wedge bike hanger part — and they hang like vampires from the ceiling, or the just stick to the wall if that’s where you put it! It’s got a cool cushioned sleeve to protect your bike’s wheel, and it’s made from heavy-duty, REALLY-heavy-duty epoxy-coated, laser-cut 12-gauge steel. Dude, right? That’s tough stuff. And if you’re really crazy about security (and who isn’t in these tough economic times), the Hook features a “V” cutout to accommodate a cable lock! Awesome. This is a bicycle rack that is simple, and cool, and great! Check it out, friends! Good luck!
Boy, keeping Bicycles out of the way and safe sure is a tough thing to do sometimes. But I love it! Ha-ha. Really, though, when I need to rack a whole bunch of Bicycles together at the same time, in the same place, there really is only two options: rack them on an old fashioned, ground-secured bike rack, or go for it and hang them all from a hanging bike rack not unlike this cool bike rack that I found on Stacks and Stacks the website! It’s called the Bicycle Hanger, and it works wonders when you really need to Rack up to four bikes in a hurry, while keeping your garage all clean and organized — the way it should be!

Certainly tough, certainly durable, and certainly boasting an industrial-ish in it’s look, the Bicycle Hanger may not be as flashy as the cool kind of hanging Bike Rack that has wires and pulleys and makes your bike levitate like Peter Pan. But hey, we didn’t all get Ninendos for Christmas, you know? Sometimes you don’t need all that flash and pizazz, sometimes you just need the essentials, and that’s what the Bicycle Hanger offers. And boy does it offer it! It can hold up to 200 pounds! No kidding! And up to four bikes! Amazing. And up to 200 pounds, so less bikes, if they weigh more. Or one 200 pound bike. So if you’re looking for a great way to keep those bikes racked, and don’t want the whole production of a hanging bicycle factory, then the Bicycle hanger is your best bet! Go for it!
Earlier today, I was looking for a great solution to the problem of hoisting TWO bikes at the same time. Bikeracksblog.com Reader Niamh liked my earlier post on the subject, and asked me if I could find a ceiling-hoist rack for two. Man, I tried. And while I couldn’t find EXACTLY what you were after, Niamh, this terrific wall rack looks like it’s up to the task of handling two bikes AND saving space, doesn’t it? It’s the Wall Mounted Bicycle Rack - Double Vertical, and I found it at STACKS AND STACKS:

Cool! And while the bike won’t hang from the ceiling, Niamh, the Double Vertical is a really strong, really tough customer that is made of durable steel (SOLID steel) that is a snap to install in your garage (even with your washer and dryer taking up the space you need for bicycles!
). The cool thing is that the Double Vertical not only comes with it’s own tools to install it, but it has some pretty cool security features as well. If you use a cable lock when you put your bikes in it (always a good idea) the “security loop” stops anyone from making off with your bike(s). God forbid anyone got into your garage, but if they did, they wouldn’t be getting away with your bikes!

Take a look at that! Not only is the Double Vertical safe, but it has added room for storage. You can put anything you need there, from helmets, water bottles, bike path maps, even a “go-bag” of everything you need for a quick bike ride getaway at a moments notice! See those molded rubber hook guards? They’re there to protect your wheels and rims, another cool addition to the design. So, Niamh, what do you think? It’s not EXACTLY a hanging ceiling-hoist double bike rack, but it’s CLOSE! Let me know what you think, write me back, and please review the Double Vertical if you install it. Thanks again for reading bikeracksblog.com!
