How to Build a Bike Rack for Your Hoops
While we wrote about this a couple years ago, there have been a number of inquiries, mostly from hoopers going to Burning Man, asking for advice on transporting hoops while riding a bicycle. Jay has instructions for how to build a bike rack for hoola hoops with excellent visuals on how to make it happen. He made his for about $40. He says, "I tested it with four hoops and i barely even noticed them when riding around. Now I just need to decorate the PVC as that white is ug-ly..."

I made one for my playa bike this year. It was easy to do! The hardest part was attaching the rack to my OLD SCHOOL Schwinn bike.
Thanks so much for this post!

I am planning to do the Aids Lifecycle in June 2008 (I'm going to sign up at the info meeting Dec. 6), and I'm wondering what everyone thinks is the best way to bring a hoop... Do you think that this rack idea is best, or will it be a pain to have it attached for 545 miles, and I should look into getting a collapsable hoop instead? How does the rack hold up when you go fast?

You're riding 545 miles and you think you'll have energy to hoop? Are you nuts?

Yes, I am nuts. I think people will think its fun, and cheerful, and will appreciate my nutziness. I am totally serious about being nuts, and wanting to bring a hoop (or three, because people will want to try, I'm sure. They always do!).
