NEWS – The Longhorn Bicycle Rack is a whimsical piece of art for your walls when it’s not in use. It’s a convenient rack to hang your bike out of the way when needed. The Longhorn was created by Phillip Stone and is handmade in his Oregon workshop. It’s crafted of Oregon fir, a vegan leather recycled bicycle seat, and aluminum road bike handlebars. When hanging on the wall, the rack looks a bit like, and was inspired by, the head and horns of the Texas Longhorn cattle.
The rack mounts to the wall with two screws; be sure to screw it into a stud or use wall anchors. It measures 12″ tall x 16″ wide x 9″ deep, and it can support a bike up to 65 pounds. The Longhorn Bicycle Rack is $110.00 at UncommonGoods.

It looks like it was inspired more by Picasso … at least now, it’s useful!

“It’s crafted of … a vegan leather recycled bicycle seat.”
What the hell is Vegan leather? Last I checked there weren’t any Carnivorous Bovines wandering the Earth. All cows are vegan by nature. Or does vegan leather come from free range Nauga? Are they organic and gluten free as well?
(could it possibly be vegetable tanned leather?)
Vegan leather sounds awfully like what we used to call vinyl ! Or at least some form of plastic.

That of course raises the whole environmental dilemma of using plastics. Brooks in England are making a saddle called Cambium with a rubber base and a cotton covering. I haven’t tried one.
