Yakima Bike Rack Cozy

I'm quite happy with my Yakima Rapter bike racks. Unfortunately, they scuff the paint on my bicycles... boooo.

My solution was to make a bike rack cozy out of an old sock. I cut a slit in a heavily padded sock and now it fits over the clamp on the rack. No more scuffed paint!!!

The next step is to make one in red or blue gingham and sell it to L.L. Bean.
