Which one of you is an idiot

[USMC-SSGT]

I have a oneUp 3 bike rack that has been awesome. Heavy as a sumbitch though.

Re, the video: could have been much worse. Could have been their own garage.

Love the added “yet”. I can identify with that sentiment.

Tough question, your "which one of us is an idiot?" I honestly have to answer I am , my wife tell's me I'm an idiot all the time, I'm not real smart but I think that makes me an idiot.
Now driving into a parking garage in a Jeep with bikes on top is a MORON, I'm an idiot but no moron, yet....jack

Probably the last Jeep he'll ever own. Now he drives a Subaru. It clears the sign just fine.

id die. my santa cruz was 4k bucks in 2014. This made my stomach hurt.

I still use a Kuat rack for my Gladiator, JUST bc i am stupid enough to drive them into my garage.

edit: hitch mounted Kuat transfer 2

This exactly. When you are done with a hard ride, your brain is goo. I could see plenty of highly intelligent people making this mistake.

My wife and I were coming back from our first half Ironman (which I did to motivate me to get into shape at age 50) with 2 bikes on the roof. My body was exhausted. My brain was fried. I was terrified that I would drive into the garage and rip $8000 worth of bikes off the roof.

I had post it notes over the speedometer, alarms set on my phone, reminders and I was repeating a mantra all the way home. "Bikes on the roof, Bikes on the roof".

ha. I was successful.

I'm sure it's VERY easy to do that. I bought one of those cheap front thru-axle mounts on Amazon and just drilled it into a 2x4 and put it in the bed. I do like the Kuat hitch racks though. My wife got a bike so I may go that route.

Yeah lotta people making fun but when you've just spent 5 hours on the bike and drove an hour or two home it's really easy to go into autopilot mode. I never did this but I've definitely stopped within 5 ft of the garage when I remembered it.

Bent frame?

Now the story is all starting to come together. This is the gladiator cicada 3301

I won’t be having those skinny people problems.

I could totally see myself doing this. So I will refrain from judgement

I did this in March with a brand new Cannondale scalpel SE1. The 1up roof rack broke away perfectly to prevent any damage to the bike, the rack clipped the top of my lift gate but touch-up paint and a buff out removed it for the most part. So little damage is like a small miracle. To remind me of never doing it again, my 10y/o daughter made me a beaded necklace that I have wrapped around the visor and overtop the home link button to my garage bay.

As a 20 year classroom veteran..... You should see what some people send us to educate.
I had a dad this week drop his 15 year old daughter off at school blackout drunk.
When I asked him why, he told me he had better things to do.
Yep....DHS called.
Some years you just scratch your head and wonder what was in the water the year a group of kids was conceived.

I know my own mental limitations so I idiot proof my setup. Keep it simple stupid.

So, was the dad drunk or was the daughter drunk? Or was it both? Was the daughter literally passed out from drinking so much? (Sorry, I'm a bit confused here.)

I'm old enough to know it's nothing new. When I was a kid, my dad and all his friends used to drive with beers between their legs.
