Bike Rack

thingiverse

Here's a custom bike rack designed specifically for my daughter's 24" mountain-bike. I constructed this sturdy rack using 1/4" steel rods cut to precise length and securely fastened with Araldite in the following sequence: * Verticals are anchored firmly into the branch, * Diagonals are tightly bolted into the branch, * Front, Back, and Middle frames are solidly mounted onto the verticals / diagonals, * Horizontals are carefully inserted through pre-drilled holes at the back. The SCAD file is fully parametric, allowing for easy modifications to accommodate different bike sizes without compromising on structural integrity. Now that our week-long family holiday has come to a close, I'll share my assessment of how the rack performed under real-world conditions: Did it hold up to the demands of frequent use and heavy loading? And the verdict is in - we returned home safely, with both riders and the rack intact! Daughter 1 is impressed enough by its durability that she's already making her case for one of her own.
