YIKES!:eek: How are the bikes?!? Show us some pictures of any damage to them!

How fast were you going when it snapped off? Were you going over a speedbump or something?

Sorry, can't see any reason to laugh there Yak.

Pretty good advertisement for a gripsport rack though!

Hope the treadly is ok, fingers crossed for you.

Hmmm, that's some bad luck there.... then again, going by those pics the rack design & structural integrity does not look very professional :confused: (no offense to the manufacturer) Just lucky it broke off at low speed... could imagine even more carnage had it been on the open road!!
