Yeah I've bent two axles on freewheel bikes hauling people this way.


I've found most racks to be really anti ergonomic or incredibly flimsy, the best so far was one made of cast aluminium just like this one except it was black. It's hard to tell in this pic but there's a bar that goes sideways in the middle, and the spring clamp thing rests on it so it feels like there's a lot of surface supporting one's sitting implement, plus the edges are nice and rounded. I guess a cushion would be better tho.

I'd like something similar but made of steel, also with legs that attach on the axle.
