Surf rack for push bike

I purchased this amazing contraption a few days ago. The noble bicycle surfboard rack! As I don’t drive or own a car (or have many friends), this is the only way I can get my surfboard to surf spots that are further than about 10 minutes walk away.

I bought it from Tunnel Vision and Andy fixed it up for me. Ingenious but somewhat rickety, is what I thought at first. But it does work, after a fashion. There’s been no wind this week, which does make life easier.

The surf rack has certainly garnered a lot of attention and everyone seems to think it’s a clever idea. The acid test was on the way back from my surf session today, when I managed to strap the thing up with cold, wet hands. But I couldn’t cycle back because a) I lost both contact lenses in my first wipeout, and b) I wasn’t wearing anything on my feet (spiky pedals, ouch!).

It’s all a glorious learning process…

Stumble it!
