Rakstand, a startup based in Houston, Texas, has unveiled an innovative new bicycle rack that is designed to be versatile and multifunctional in that it can either be used to stash your bike on the floor, mount in on the wall or set it in place in order to carry out repair operations.
The 'Rak One' can be used as a floor stand by simply laying its base down and inserting the bicycle's front wheel between the pair of vertical tubes. For wall mounting, the companion bracket must be inserted on the wall before then being adorned by the 'Rak One,' so that its base is aligned to the wall. Finally, the repair configuration also calls for wall-mounting, with the only difference being that the arm can be locked out at a parallel angle, with the arm able to be used in conjunction with a seatpost holder and a tray to hold your tools.
Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign, the 'Rak One' can be reserved for a pledge of $129.
