BIKE RACKS BLOG

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!!

I need to get personal for a moment. I don’t often write about matters of the heart here on Bike Racks Blog, but as it is a blog all about bike racks, and this story has to do with bike racks, then I feel it’s okay to tell it. Sometimes (more times than you would think), people, mean people, will come up to me, or write to me, or call me in the middle of the night, and tell me this blog is a useless gesture, that no one cares about bikes and bicycle riding, and certainly not about bike racks, and that smart people have moved on. That there’s this new thing called an automobile, an invention so cutting edge that you don’t need your feet to pedal it. That they took that automobile and wedged onto a bicycle and are calling it a motorcycle. That 1846 wants to know why modern humans haven’t evolved past two wheels, a seat, a chain, a sloped, paved hill, and hope. To all of them, I say down with you and your negativity. You know who likes bicycles? Smart people.

Albert Einstein rode a bicycle. He loved bicycles. And his best ideas came to him while he was riding. In fact the large book I read on him said that ALL of his ideas came to him while riding a bike. And you can bet he had ideas for bike racks! He was the smartest man ever — he probably could have designed the best bike rack of all if he wasn’t busy with his math and science and mad wizardry. And I can tell you with all certainty that if Albert Einstein was alive today, he would own this awesome Garage Bike Rack from Stacks And Stacks.

He would be able to park his bicycle in the garage, without the worry of mounting or lifting! He would know that this free-standing floor bike rack is the best, that it firmly holds one or two bikes, and fits easily into slim spaces, like between car and garage wall (even though he wouldn’t OWN a car, because he wouldn’t need one because all he would need is a bicycle). Einstein would also know that this indoor bike rack would hold any size wheel securely, without using a bike’s kickstand, keeping his bikes as safe as the science secrets he told the government. He would enjoy the rubberized feet, that would protect his laboratory floor against scratches from the rack’s steel frame, because smart people take precautions. And you know what? Smart people also write blogs. Blogs about bike racks. So for all the “haters” out there that potty-mouth trash-talk this blog, just “chill”. Maybe you should stop making fun of me and invest in a bicycle and improve your I.Q. and then pick up a Garage Bike Rack to go with it. Sticks And Stones may break my bones, but Stacks And Stacks sells Bike Racks. I suggest you lay off teasing me, and buy one. Good Luck!

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!
