Thanksgiving Day parade bike rack. So topical.

I've been hanging on to this goodie of a post for quite some time now, as it's very seasonal and pretty much appropriate exactly one day a year. But friends, that day is TODAY and I'm so excited to present...Macy's (tm) Thanksgiving Day Parade Bike Rack!!!

This treat is from M. Goodman, who actually sent this to me last year but I felt like it deserved prime-time placement for the holidays. As she is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world, not only am I thankful for these photos but for her as well, as she keeps me sane when I am trying to navigate a 12-passenger van and pick up a pizza in rural Iowa.

Anyway, the bike rack featured here is from New York, where the huge parade inflatables are stored, overnight and protected from harm using your standard-issue bike rack. Pretty awesome, if you ask me.

Of course, the bike rack is somewhat secondary to the inflatables themselves. While in the photo above, we have some cute, very PG Christmas ornaments - classic stuff. I only mention the MPAA rating as the next photo, to the right, features Mr. Kermit the Frog in a weird, compromising position. I'm sure he's, uh, totally upright for the parade, but for storage...yikes.

 


So while I'm here - thank YOU to everyone who has sent in photos (and continues to do so) the last two-plus years. Could not do it without everyone. And that's as mushy as I get.

Ahhhh, bike rack. So versatile. For basic bike rack doing what it does best, THREE bicycles, but minus one for the weird storage of Kermit. What would Miss Piggy say?!
