We refer to cars or bikes as female, even in spanish there is a gender association with buildings and even furniture. So I think it is safe to refer to a "rack" as female although my corrupted since of humor takes the meaning to a whole different level.(as the prevois post suggest)
Lane, some people have physical limitations and can no longer enjoy the the passion of cycling as they once did,(I have a heart condition and want more exercise) That is where the electric motor assist comes in. I personally welcome you here and hope enjoy the conversation here.
P.S. As Dalecv stated, "batteries need racks too", that is why I approached you about a super duty rear rack that could hold over 100 pounds (36 to 60 lbs for batts plus cargo on side panniers)
