July 20 - Riding High
If you like to go to remote locations to ride your bike, you need to go to Yakima. Not the city in Washington, (though there may be some fine trails there), but Yakima Products, (www.yakima.com).
We were nervous when the Highroller arrived, thinking it would be harder to put together than the bike itself on Christmas Eve. Open it up and much to our delight, one page of mounting instructions and a small plastic pouch of hardware. Otherwise it was fully-assembled and ready to go.
And beyond ease-of-assembly, was ease-of-use. This thing works like a charm. It's designed to ensure that there's no need to worry about scratches on your car or bike. One easy-to-reach knob controls retention, adjustment and release, and the super strong and wide wheel tray can hold anything you can straddle. Thanks to Yakima, the days of trying to stuff your bike somewhere it doesn't belong, or removing your front wheel, are over.
So now there’s no excuse not to get out there and ride. The look of pure envy on my bike-riding neighbor’s face as I mounted the Highroller on my roof said it all.
