It is no secret that bike racks that are purchased from retail stores are made as cheaply as possible so that there is more profit involved. What happens when products are made cheaply? Well, they fail. The same reason that thousands of toys and goods from all over the world ...

This picture was taken in the dark. I believe I was parked at the time because of the angle it was taken at. It demonstrates what a hitch mount bike rack looks like on the Jeep Cheroke. It is possible that I am mis-spelling the word since the spell ...

This bike rack was taken at my local super market. I believe the owner works there because it seems like it is always there. Why any one would leave their bike rack on their car all the time makes no sense to me unless they go for a ride ...

I found this clip on YouTube of some guys stealing a Bike Thief's Bike. This is pretty good. I mean, you have to be pretty stupid to ride your bike to steal another bike. Especially if you have to go back to get your bike from the place you stole ...
