A Bike Rack Built for Shortboards
If you are trying to get a shortboard to the beach without hauling out the car, the Moved By Bikes Shortboard Rack solves the problem with a mount that clips onto your bicycle and carries the board securely. It is built to fit shortboards up about 7 feet, which covers the vast majority of everyday performance and shortboard shapes riders keep in a quiver.
Construction and Features
The rack uses push button quick release bars, so the arms that cradle the board mount, adjust, and come off in seconds without tools. It attaches with simple seatpost mounting, which keeps installation straightforward on most standard bikes. The frame itself is built from aluminum and stainless steel, a construction choice aimed at standing up to the salt air and everyday knocks that come with hauling gear to the water.
Who This Rack Is For
This is the setup for surfers who live close enough to ride to the break, or who simply want a faster way to shuttle a board between the garage, the beach, and the shop for wax or a ding check. South Florida riders who bike along the beach roads and want both hands free on the way there will get the most use out of it. It is a practical alternative for anyone who does not want to load a board into or onto a vehicle for a short trip to the sand.
Installing and Using the Rack
Because the mounting point is the seatpost, fit the rack before you plan to ride so you can confirm the push button arms line up cleanly with your board and release smoothly under load. Give the quick release bars a quick check before each ride, since they are the part doing the work of holding the board steady while you pedal. Wipe down the aluminum and stainless steel hardware after a beach ride to keep sand and salt from building up in the moving parts.
About Moved By Bicycle
Moved By Bicycle designs its racks specifically around the practical needs of surfers and paddlers who want to carry boards by bike rather than by car, building the quick release and seatpost mounting system around that single job.
