Bike racks

So recently I've decided to up the utility of my road bike and bought a cargo rack for the rear to hold some stuff, especially some bags that might carry extra groceries in the near future. I was pretty pumped after installing it.

I had been researching racks all over the internet to see what was available and what people were recommending. I wasn't super impressed with selections and it seems like no one really cares to talk about the racks they prefer. So I just bought what the local shop owner suggested--an economical rack without any fluff. $29.

While at the shop I noticed a tiny chrome rack that was apparently for the front of a bike made by Nitto--who makes some notable racks. $49 was written on the bag. The next day I was curious to research the particular rack only to realize that not only was this rack--the Nitto Mark's (mini) rack--out of stock at the few places where it is normally sold, but in one place it was going for $139. Bam! Anyway, I went back to check if it was the same thing and it was, so I bought it. Bam! It's on my bike now.

So, in one week I installed two racks on my bike. Let's haul some stuff.
