I wish bike racks didn't destroy the aesthetics of a bike. I know frame mounted luggage is better than backpacks, that's why I have a rack fitted, but Jesus it fucks up the look of my bike.
I also know that a bike is a tool, and practicality, functionality, comfort etc all trump aesthetics, but Holy shit can't someone design a nice rack that actually improves the looks of a bike? You know how the best machines just look right, it's like great design, engineering and optimal usefulness sometimes combine to create beauty. Why doesn't that seem to work with bike racks?
