made in u.s.a. - a product well worth the money

Recently I keep going back to visit this one website: http://www.cetmaracks.com/.

If you live in Seattle, Washington you can even order pizza off a link provided on the website.

But this website isn't about pizza.

It's about the product created and marketed by a gutsy, visionary, individualistic craftsman and entrepreneur named Lane Kagay. Mr. Kagay apparently inspired by bicycle messengers, cuts steel, drills holes, welds, grinds, finishes, sandblasts, powder-coats, assembles, packs, ships and markets "low center of gravity" front-mounted bicycle racks.

I've heard lots of excuses about why not to ride bicycles. One former school board mom, now a selectwoman, said that school kids couldn't possibly ride to school with all the books, sports equipment they need to carry these days - they need to drive. Well with the latest iteration of cetma racks that argument falls flat on its face.

This rack is the most important innovation I've seen in the bicycle industry since clipless pedals were introduced by Look in the mid-1980's.
