30 Bike Racks That Are So Unbelievably Bad They’ll Make You Cry Hot Tears Of Anger

Sometimes you'll come across a bike rack so terrible, it makes you despair for the human race.

Love it or hate it, the human race has accomplished a lot during its time on Earth. Fire starting, the wheel, the internet, and cures for a variety of horrible diseases, to name a few. Yes, it has to be said, people are generally quite good at solving problems and coming up with things to make our lives less shit.

Bike racks though. Bike racks are a big fat brick wall that we, as a species, continue to hit our heads against over and over and over again. On paper, a place to lock up your bikes safely and securely should be a piece of piss.

The reality, however, is very different. Below, for your morbid curiosity, is a collection of bike racks so unbelievably bad they’ll make you sick up your own lungs through furious rage.
