BIKE RACKS BLOG

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!!
