I am welding together a custom freestanding bicycle rack for Busters. It is very large and will be able to accommodate many bicycles. There are some characteristics about it that might interest a newspaper to write a story about it, so I was thinking about contacting the Herald Leader. I need to get some of my facts straight before I try to pitch this. This is where you guys would come in. Where is the largest freestanding bicycle rack in Lexington that you know of?

probably something at UK?

You should get a press release together. I bet Clark and Jessica could help you with this, and possibly Brad Flowers. He's good at that sort of thing Smile

Yeah that was my next step, just trying to get all my information together before that. I will just have to ride around campus with a tape measure to find the longest bike rack.

what are you making it out of? We've got tons of junk frames at the shop that would be perfect for more bike racks. any thoughts?

It is actually almost done. I made it out of recycled metal that was taken out of the building where Busters is located. I am pretty sure that UK has taken my thought of having the largest freestanding bicycle rack, but oh well. I am really happy with the way it came together.
