What do you do when you happen to ride your bike to the grocery store and buy an item too large for your rack?
You harness the power of all those years of watching TV in the 80’s. You are in Fred Meyer’s super grocery. You can get anything there.
WHAT WOULD MACGYVER DO?
He would go to the bath section of the store, find a random basket. Then go to the hardware section and get some zip ties. Then head to the beer isle and test fitting a case of Deschutes Chainbreaker in that basket. Purchase those items and build this super rack while at the store.
Ride home young man with a smile on your face knowing you just elevated your bike commute game to the next level.

I could see myself getting one of these visijax for next winter. Bright jacket with LED and reflective stripes.

Fun little vid showing the product. It is a interesting concept. Very clever. I like not having to carry a lock around.

Mr. Snake in Commuter Attire
Today I finished up the Kona project and converted the Jake the Snake into my daily commuter. I will be travelling about 10 Miles a day, so the need for a geared tough bike was necessary. I added a rack, fenders, and my old panniers. I have lights and am ready for a test run either Friday or Saturday.
Here’s to cyclocross bikes making awesome commuters!
