So a while back, we decided to have a design competition to bring out the best designers in Richmond. The goal was to design a creative, new, and unique bike rack for the front of our store. We encouraged the use of sustainable materials, great aesthetics, and your own little sprinkle of uniqueness to the design. We asked that the rack was semi-permanent but at the same time theft proof. Out of 12 entries from various design firms around the city, Sean Wheeler and Georgia Krapf used their combined skills to come up with the coolest bike rack we’ve ever seen.

But, we need your help. We’re still trying to come up with a creative name, or phrase for the rack. So if you can help, just let us know. Some of the phrases that we like so far are: “SUSTAIN”, “EASY RIDER”, “BIKE LOCAL”, “BIKE RACK”, and “BE WELL”. We’re still looking for a few more options to consider. So if you can think of something short, sweet, simple, and catchy, shoot us an e-mail. If we pick your phrase, we’ll reward you with something sweet!

Now, don’t get confused, though the rack says “Bike Rack”, that is just for a visual reference. If we wanted to call it “Bike Rack” then this post wouldn’t  exist. So, if you can think of something clever here, we’d love to hear it.
