I keep my bike in an area behind my desk. I use an unused desk and file cabinet as a bike rack. I also made a little clothes rack where I keep my bike clothes and towel.

Thanks. It's a 1999 All Rounder with a Joe Bell paint job. Great bike; it's fun to ride.

According to the Fischer-Price Parenting Topics website "it's best to avoid putting your baby to sleep with a bottle". You've compounded the problem with two. Hope I caught you before it's too late.

It's fine-- it's water in the bottles... right?

I have no where to park my bike but in the back shop, at least it's inside and not outside.

Can't bring it into the office, I wouldn't even think of asking. But we do have a secure garage.

It looks to me that the wheelbase of this bike is quite long, how's it ride?

Nice bright red btw, I like red bikes, my last 2 are red but not this nice a colour.

Quite comfortably. Soaks up potholes nicely. Yes, it is a fairly long wheelbase, as this was a mountain bike in a past life.

Don't wish to hijack the thread, but I do have one quick question... Do those type of bike racks damage the bike or wheel in the long run?

BTW, that's one wicked ride!!!

No. Your weight on the wheel when riding is more stress than that is.

Doubt that these hooks hurt the bike. The same might not be true for the back of short, weak or disabled cyclists that have to lift the bike over their head to that awkward position without help; same applies to roof racks on cars. This is one application where light bikes are a big advantage over heavy accessory laden bikes.

Oh I remember you sent me a pm but I couldn't reply back due to my low post count. My bike is just a 78' Schwinn Traveler III hi-ten steel frame with a single speed conversion. The bike is quite light for what it is, weighing at 22lbs respectively.

We have smaller versions of these bike racks that only accommodate a wheel.

If there is enough space I always park mine accross them and lock it as usual through the frame.

No way would I just lock it through the wheel.
