I appreciate all of the replies. I'm also a fan of the inverted U (sheffield). I just know that I can sometimes be very opinionated and thought I should get more of a consensus on this. I ride a recumbent and most other racks don't work for a recumbent. I've been using the picnic table outside my office. That's not entirely true... I haven't been using anything because I haven't commuted in over 2 months! That's a whole other thread.
