it's admittedly biased because he is obviously in the business of making front racks, but all of the points he brings up i agree with.
chances are lane has more experience/knowledge about it than you. chances are i have had more experiences carrying cargo than you. i still think you're a moron, and that you have no idea what you're talking about.
also, it's funny that you're talking **** about how $250 (i don't know where you got this arbitrary number, cetma racks are much cheaper) could be better spent, when you have that ****ty bikes at work trailer, and those run, what anywhere from $400 to 600? give me a break.
