Our bicycle racks will turn even the oldest
cyclist into a kid on a bike again.
They stood outside your primary school throughout the years, those
bicycle racks. You loved them the bicycle racks were the
whole reason you were allowed to ride to school. Your parents told
you that they didnt mind if you wanted to ride to school,
just as long as you locked your bike securely to those bicycle racks
every day. Now the simple sight of bicycle racks outside a school
transports you back to those days.
The bicycle racks really cooked in the sun back then, didnt
they? Whenever you came out to get your bike from the line of all
of the other hot bikes and sport bikes chained to the bicycle racks,
a simple touch of the metal would almost sizzle against your skin.
But the bicycle racks would never actually burn you. They were almost
good friends. They took care of your bike day in and day out. No
thief would ever get to your hot bikes, no matter how hard they
tried.
It was almost as if the bicycle racks had feelings and emotions,
like they really loved seeing those sport bikes locked up to their
open metal grin day after day. That grin on the bicycle racks always
seemed to turn into a sad, lonely expression during the summer when
nobody was around to go to school. But every fall the kids came
back, and every fall those bicycle racks stay there to protect all
of their bikes.
