I also bought a new bike rack, a 1UP USA. I am so glad I did, this rack is perfect! If you are looking for a new rack get a 1UP!
I ran into a new friend this morning on my ride. At first I thought it was a cat but as I got closer I saw that it was a fox. It was not scared of me at all as you can see from how close it got. It finally veered off into the woods and then back across the trail and got within 30 yards of me. I started to get a bit worried, it's rare to get this close to one.
