When it comes to putting mankind’s best foot forward, the Americans have certainly come a long way since the Wild West was won. From bringing us the first mass-produced motor cars to putting men on the moon, the USA has been a driving force behind some of the really good stuff that’s happened in the world! So it will be no surprise to hear that another American company called Racor has taken one giant leap in the world of bike storage with their Prostor range of bike racks, hoists and hooks.

OK, so bike racks aren’t quite as impressive as landing on the moon, but if those astronauts had taken their bikes up there with them in one of those tiny little space rockets, you can be damn sure they would have asked Racor to make their cosmic bike racks for them. It might have been a hook, or some sort of gravity-defying bike hoist, but it sure would have gotten those bikes to the moon! And just think how amazing it would have been to watch Neil Armstrong wheelie off the Eagle Lander head-first into a crater. Who needs moon golf when we could have had that flying scene from ET! Alas, it just wasn’t meant to be.

For all the glorious vastness of outer space, bike storage here on Earth can still be a bit of a problem. Bicycles are after all fairly big things in the general scheme of things. They’re not as big as car or a dinosaur of course, but certainly bigger than a camera, so if you own a bike, you need a bike shaped hole to keep it in. Storing a bike in the house is a no-no for obvious reasons. They get dirty and people fall over them when they’re leaning against the wall in the hallway, so storing bikes in the garage is a common solution. However, garages tend to have all sorts of things in them already, so bikes that are not used regularly can end getting buried amidst the junk. Prostor bike racks, hoists and bike hooks are a way of saving your two-wheelers from being just another part of the garage junk pile.

Sure, you can lean a bike against a wall and it will usually stay put, but if you also have the car in the garage you will have a tight squeeze getting in and out, not to mention the potential for bike to scratch car, or car to damage bike. Prostor storage systems are designed to store bicycles, ladders, pushchairs, sun loungers and space shuttles in convenient and compact spaces that are not typically used – such as up near the garage ceiling! These bike racks are a practical solution to a very common problem, which is why we bring you the Prostor bike storage range – direct from the US of A!
