About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

This is probably the best inexpensive rack out there especially for commuting: easy to install, takes bungees and baskets, good with most panniers out there, holds a u-lock really well too. Will stand up to light touring. Unless you're into long-distance, heavy touring, I doubt you'll need anything else.
This model is *not* for bikes with disc brakes.
Some tips: spend two bucks at a hardware store bigger washers and tougher nuts and bolts; the supplied ones are fine, but not ideal for heavy use. You may need to bend the upper set of sliding arms to get the thing flat, but those don't carry any vertical weight anyways.

Generally, this is a good rack for the money. But, it has a design flaw that I didn't notice until I tried to hang panniers from it. The rear support bar meets the rack platform about 1 inch before the end of the platform, folds and wraps around the back of the rack. There is an inch in the back where the aluminum tubes are doubled (look closely). This inch of double tube is not conducive to attaching panniers. So, the last inch of the rack is lost for attachment resulting in 1 inch less of heel clearance for the panniers.

great product. company also donates 25% of its proceeds to charitable causes. made of recycled aluminum.
two minuses (but didnt make me want to give this less than 5 stars): 1) not oversized really. normal size-- didnt matter to me. 2) didnt come with instructions. easy enough, but I had to adjust it after realizing it was interfering with my chain. no problem ever since.
