This could happen even while you are backing into a parking space. If you
leave the ball hitch in place it could also transfer impact forces into the
sheet metal support points on the car body.

Hmm, I have two of them and don't find them bulky. The arms fold down.
Even my larger 4 bike XPORT rack, where the bicycles sit on their
wheels, and there's a lot of steel, folds up narrow enough to slide into
the back seat of the car if I don't want to leave it attached.
I really like the lack of funky rubber bumpers and straps and

I think I'm stuck with a trunk/bumper carrier, or a 1-1/4" trailer
hitch plus carrier. The car will not pull a trailer (small engine and
manual transmission) but there are hitches (class II?) that will fit
it. Hitch-mounted carriers are bulky and take up a lot of room (I
have one already.)

Annual Road Find Thread

Gad, I'm almost hesitant to do this this year. I didn't get to ride
as much this year as usually in the past, so my own finds were kinda
mundane. The usual small tools (mostly sockets), stray cutlery (the
legendary forks in the road), and such.
In the scary department, I'd gone over to a friend's house, and there

I never let a bike rack thread go by without warning people about the
one that let me down, literally. This rack was supposed to be able to
carry three bikes, so I loaded three onto it, carefully, with the
lightest outermost, everything properly strapped, etc. A pin in the
pivot of the rack gave way, and had I not had the safety strap also

If you're going to use up your time on Earth reading that nut case you
really need to include "Why the Future Doesn't Need Us" by Bill Joy,
one of the founders of SUN Microsystems. He, too, is a very smart man,
and he didn't have to murder anyone to get his message across.

I did recently Collins Ave north of 163st and it was totally crazy by
midnight.
One problem we often find here is cars racing anywhere: I've seen cars
do 100 miles on Biscayne Blvd.

What can I tell you... You are lucky to be alive!
I think I once cheched your route through Krome Ave (rings a bell?)
and I find it totally incredible that you survived.
90% of the people here ride on the sidewalk because they forced you
out of the roads.

Good omen for the revolution.
But I think it's not yet full moon because there was no party.

Anyone that rides on Biscayne Boulevard/Federal Highway and isn't
extremely comfortable in heavy traffic should select an alternate route.
Yes, I was once hit by a car on US 1 around Suniland, but I was also
taped by WPLG doing high intensity intervals on US 1 during rush hour
years ago (the latter several years after the former).
