Victory! How Bikes and Bike Racks helped Save the World.
Back in WWII, the Greatest Generation was in charge of saving the world from the Evil Axis, and they did so bravely. They stamped them out in Europe and the Pacific and they did it with tanks and planes and guns. But not so well known is the fact that they used bikes quite a bit in their struggle against the dark forces. They used them instead of cars and other transports as a wise and efficient way to travel around. Think about it: what better way to sneak around, without using gasoline or making sound, than a bicycle? It seems to me that bicycles were the first stealth planes, really. And as long as the rider had their wits about them and all of their limbs functioning, there was no reason the bicycle couldn’t be a formidable front line must-have. A must-have THESE days is a bike rack, if you have a bicycle. Our boys had to use what they could to keep their bikes safe and secure, but thanks to their sacrifice and service, we live in a world where you can order the finest bike racks available at the click of a mouse! Like this Bike-Away Hoist from StacksandStacks.com, for instance:
A really cool way to store your bikes, the Bike-Away Hoist is great for actually LIFTING your bikes up into the air, against the wall. That keeps them up high where they’re safe and sound and out of the way! The Bike-Away Hoist will tackle up to 80 lbs. worth of your bicycles (and that usually means two). It will lift them to an overhead position with almost no effort. Obviously any thief or criminal that had broken into your garage will have to think twice about stealing your bikes, because it will be not only a hassle to pull them down, but it would cause noise and racket that would alert you to their crimes. The Bike-Away Hoist really is a simple, safe, and convenient way to store bicycles (and get them down) without the use of dangerous step ladders. And the Bike-Away Hoist rack is zinc plated steel, vinyl-coated and permanently lubricated. Tough, determined, safe, and secure. Kind of like our armed forces, and the heroes of WWII — the men and women who used bicycles to help fight fanatical evil and stop it cold, dead, and in its tracks.
