Hi Richard, bike rack has been here for a long time. I prefer something I can rest my bike against as the weight of the panniers means front wheel bike stands are not so good. Modern upright stands where you can rest a bike on and lock seem to be what is being installed more and more.

Will try to go for a ride everyday come sun or rain. I hope the bike holds!
