Step 12Amazing Unistrut Traveling Bike Racks
Spotted outside Shaw's, in Cambridge.
Whoever rides this bicycle has clearly figured out how to carry a lot of stuff.
Unistrut back racks go a long way. It's galvanized, so it doesn't rust.
The front basket and front panniers are also supported by unistrut.
Galvanized steel means that welding is out, so this uses all-bolt construction.
I normally don't like using unistrut, because it twists around a lot.
Bolting them back-to-back solves that.
There's a hidden support behind the white basket on the rear rack,
supporting the extra length of the triangle (as compared to commercial rear racks).
The unistrut is extra-neat, because it gives you 2.2 million spots to hook bungee cords.

Looking in the last picture there, it kinda reminds me of the corner reinforcements for drywall--those things you put on projecting corners, only thicker...look...it even has the "long" holes like those corner reinforcements...
