Bicycle Racks: What to AVOID
|
 |
Though once popular in schoolyards, racks which support only the wheel are sometimes referred to as “wheel benders” due to their potential for damaging a bicycle. They also offer little in the way of security. Due to these problems, many cyclists will not use these racks and instead will lock bikes to nearby sturdy objects such as a signpost or handrail. At right you can see how the bike was simply removed leaving the wheel behind. |

Another example of a poorly designed bicycle rack. The only secure place to lock the rack to the frame is at the end, as shown at left.
