Cool Bike Racks

One of the many things I love about the Front Range of Colorado is not only are there a lot of bicycle racks in towns like Fort Collins, but the bike racks often have a lot of style. Gone are the days where the most fashionable bicycle parking spots were upside-down giant horseshoes cemented in the ground. Those may have been five times more attractive than the generic bent-metal, tire-holding plop-them-down-where-bicycle-parking-is-needed racks, but get few style points compared to the ones depicted here.

Below is a gallery of bike racks that have caught my eye. I will be adding to this collection in the future as I take more photos.

Not a bike rack per se, but what the owner of this tall bike locked it up to on a December day outside Bikram Yoga.
