Super special Nobel prize-winning bike rack from Norway

It's the Super Bowl (tm) of bike rack.

So simple in its design, yet intimidating in execution. 

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: bike rack fit for the Nobel Peace Prize. 

There may be nothing special about the actual bike rack - it's got the basic design of bike rack that we all love so much - but damn, that is some awesome barricade. NO ONE is getting through that without some serious hopping around. You can't push it over, you can't easily swing yourself over it in one foul swoop. 

This was spotted by D. Ceasar some time ago in Norway, and truthfully, I'd been hanging on to it for a special occasion. Seeing as how I've been slacking on my bike rack duties (sorry people, I've been busy, m'kay?) D. rightfully pointed out that I need to come back in a big way. And, he's been trying to outdo C.Welker for bike rack bragging rights. (She's got at least four more in the hopper!) 

So, here you have it. Bike rack is NOT dead in 2011, but here to stay. And make a very, very bold statement in a country that I can't imagine is super unruly when it comes to....the Nobel Peace Prize. Don't you find it odd that they needed to construct such a super fortress? For what? Do the Norwegians make like Laker fans and riot and set couches on fire? (AHEM, D.Sams) I mean, do tell. 

Anyway. For bike rack that probably needed a blue print to set up - FOUR bicycles out of four. Well played, Norway. Alfred Nobel would be fucking stoked.
