Bike Rack for the PDQ 32

Post by thinwater »

Not that this wouldn't fit the PDQ 36--I just don't know.

I don't like folding bikes. I used to bike race competitively, and so I just don't like any bike that does not have a road bike geometry or perform reasonable well. The folders I have test ridden did not satisfy. Besides, after years of pedaling, I have a fleet.

So, I modified a thrift store rack--I love thrift stores, since I'm trying hard to get the boat paid off before Jessica hits college--and made a rack that goes over the back rail in seconds and stows in the space of brief case. So simple a cave man....

Is there a pic on your blog of the boat with the bikes on the rack?

No pictures with the bikes, and it will likely be mid-August before we use them again. The wheels reach down to just above the seam between the deck and hull moulds.
