I'M all for an economical price on needed products-as long as they WORK!
I call this product a "one time purchase" product.
You buy it, it doesn't work and/or work properly or
breaks-you don't buy it again!!
How could PLANET BIKE put their name on this piece of junk??
PLANET BIKE- of all people, who possess some of the BEST bike taillights
and FENDERS at the best prices anywhere???
The only angle I can reckon for this-----
-Cheesy bike shops who give customers "free gifts" for a bike purchase
then "install" it for "free".
-Big box "general stores" -who must carry some of everything.
-"Occasional" cyclists, who ride once or twice per year and need a place
to park a Pepsi can.
The only water bottles that work with this cage are the $1.50 "baby plastic" type bottles, which leach deadly PVC toxins into your vitamin water, even these bottles fit this cage so tight,
they deform beyond recognition when removed!
SUMMERY-
For about twice the price of this "water cage", you can buy an exquisite
DELTA INOX stainless steel cage, which will outlast your 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. |
