I took an old futon bed's rails that I found at Mom's Dumpster, and I originally was going to make porch railings from them. But I got the idea to make the bike rack from them. I found they were a tad small heighth wise, so I cut out the tops on every other post, and set them up so they would have a bike on each side. I tried them out with the old bikes I had around and they work! Hopefully the bike group at Sustainable Burien likes them as well!

As for mom for mothers day, I found this neat Garden Hod style basket at a garage sale, and put in some garden tools, seeds, gloves and tomato plants in the hope that she gets approved for the community garden- If she doesn't she can grow a kiddie pool garden at my house!

Your bike rack is GREAT! I would never have thought of it. (I'll bet there will be a lot of futons disappearing from "free" piles on the side of roads)
And, what a thoughtful gift for your mom! Maybe you could convince her to be a guest blogger sometime? :)
That bike rack is genius! And here I wanted an old futon frame to repurpose into... a futon. Silly me, I should think bigger!
Fantastic bike rack! I love to see items repurposed into something useful. Great job!
