Wall Mounted Bike Rack Makes Storing Your Bicycle Easy

The higher the cost of gas goes, the higher the sales of bikes. You may have decided that cycling to work costs a lot less than driving and many people are finding it's a healthy alternative to waiting for a bus or driving. The higher the cost of gas, the safer the roads get too, with less people on them. For whatever reason you have decided to use your bicycle there is always one big problem - what to do with it when it's not in use. A wall mounted bike rack is an ideal solution.

If you have kids, you probably already have to deal with their bicycles and with so many Americans using their garages and sheds for storage, there's less room to store a bicycle. If it's becoming a big problem, roll up your garage doors and take a look at the space on the walls - if you don't have shelving all around your garage, chances are you have room for a wall mounted bike rack.

There are many different kinds of wall mounted bike racks to choose from. Some you simply install at ground level that capture the front wheel. Most are designed to go on the wall, and remember they should be at a height where you are not struggling to get your bike down. Don't let your 6'6" husband install a wall mounted bike rack for your kid's bike, unless he's prepared to put the bicycle away every time it's used and take it down whenever it's needed.

Whichever wall mounted bike rack you choose, they are all installed easily with just a couple of screws or bolts. You will need a drill if your garage is made of cinder block, and if it's a finished wood frame garage, be sure to use a stud finder to mount the bicycle rack securely to a stud. You don't want the bicycle falling down onto the hood of your new car!

If you and some of your other co-workers have decided to bike regularly to work, one of the biggest problems is security and where to park your bicycle. It's such a hassle to have to remove the front wheel and take it into the office with you!

Ask your boss to consider installing a secure, lockable wall mounted bike rack to accommodate everyone's bicycles. He should be pleased you have decided to get some fresh air and exercise - healthy people take far less time off work. Tell him how much more efficient you'll all be, and you won't be going outside every few minutes to make sure your bike hasn't been stolen!

A wall mounted bike rack for your garage that accommodates 4 bicycles will cost less than $40 and think of the room you can free up. No more bashing your ankles as you climb out of the car, falling over them in a dimly lit garage or endangering your vehicle's paintwork.

There all sorts of different wall mounted bike racks, so decide which is the most space efficient for you. Some hold bicycles the right way up, some upside down and others hold the bicycle with the wheels actually on the wall, so you should be able to find one that suits you and your family's needs.

Baseball Players Who Have Spent Three Different Stints With The Same Club

When he suited up for Kansas City after the trade deadline on August 1, outfielder Melky Cabrera joined a host of other players who have spent a second stint with a team. Cabrera had previously been with the Royals back in 2011, a year before he won the National league battle title as a member of the San Francisco Giants. Many of those who return to a team have been motivated by a desire to end their careers with the club with which it began. Just last year retiring All-Star Gold Glove outfielder Torii Hunter rejoined Minnesota, where he had spent the first decade of his playing career. A few seasons ago Ken Griffey, Jr., who spent his first eleven big league years with the Mariners, returned to Seattle to finish out his career. All time hits leader Pete Rose had done the same thing back in 1987, when he went back to Cincinnati to end his playing days with the hometown club that had signed him. Nearly every year at the trade deadline or during the winter meetings at least one player, s...

Bontrager - Never Compromise on Quality

The story of Bontrager is legendary. It is founded by Keith Bontrager, a driven do it yourself guy, who was a rider himself. He was also a mechanic, designer, physicist, and an engineer. He used to spend a lot of time in the dumpsters collecting broken parts, and dedicating himself to make better designs. This reverse analysis helped him develop a saying that went, 'Pick Strong and then light'. He had a reputation of making bikes with the strongest and lightest parts available. He always demanded that the parts be stronger and lighter but not always cheap. He never compromised on this logic and the customers to agree that quality is of utmost importance. Bontrager has grown tremendously from its early days of pondering over the broken parts in his garage . Many categories of Bontrager parts are now available and Keith now spends a lot of his time testing these parts on the field. The logo, which shows a B- dot assures quality and durability. They have undergone stringent tests ...
