the rack that dave built

SO, I’m driving home after a long, hot, and weird day at Boyne Mtn .. and I’ve been passing cars wtih bikes on them since I hit i-75, so it didn’t suprise me to come upon this minivan with a buncha bikes on top …

Until I got close enough to see the setup:

Now, its kind of hard to see, because well .. I was driving, and its only a 1.3 mp cameraphone .. and this dude was only doing like 50 mph or something, so I’d have had to make a major scene to get close enough for a good picture …

Anywhoo .. as I was saying, its kind of hard to see, but there are 4 bikes on this van, fastened upside-down to 2×4’s with like U-bolts or something .. It was some funny shit… But, lemme tell ya, those bikes weren’t going ANYWHERE …

and i swear, this setup has dave darling written all over it .. the only difference is that my dad would have used alot more parts … and it would certainly have involved bungie cords ..
