So check the size of that bodacious rack.

With record crude oil prices and gasoline again edging up above $3.00 a gallon in the United States, maybe it’s time to dust off that old bicycle.

When it comes to green transportation, bikes are tough to beat. They’re cheap, quick in traffic, and pollution free. But it’s tough to tote the weekly groceries unless you’re properly equipped. That’s where this burly CETMArack comes in.

The CETMArack is plenty big enough to handle that weekend beer run — or pretty much anything else you can think of doing. They come in three, five, and seven rail configurations, and can be purchased with a handy “fence” too keep things from sliding around.

Carrying cargo up front, where you can see it, is probably the safest and most natural way of getting into heavy-duty bike utility. Looking to go all out? Pair a CETMArack with a bike specifically designed as a front loader, such as the elegant Kogswell Porteur. You’ll be able to leave the car in your driveway more often and do amazing stuff like this:
