I looked at the poll and wuz confoozed...
I put the seatpost rack on the bike when I think I'll be doin a ride which benefits from carryin more stuff than fits into my seatbag strapped to the bars (I always ride with a small seatbag on the bars for stuff like energy bars, gels, glass wipes, small camera, place to store armwarmers & windvest - I really dislike things stuffed into the pockets of the jersey...)
OH - car Rack!
just never think about it anymore.
20 years ago I stopped buyin vehicles which can't carry at least
3 longboards or
3 bikes or
multiple prs of skis/snowbds
and their riders...
or 6 soccer kiddies...
all locked internally...
and get at least 25 mpg hwy
no more poseur autos for moi...
that usually means they're NOT chic-chic, are plenty ugly, and durable...
Bike racks? Bike racks? we don need no steenkin bike racks!
