Driving your bike to work inherently involves many dangers. We've discussed before the obvious hazard of low-clearance garages. But the sheer act of putting your bike on the roof of a car can expose you to injuries, stained clothing, even bike damage if you make a mistake. And with SUV roof heights skyrocketing higher than gas prices in California, it's becoming harder and harder to lift your bike onto the roof of your car.

This is why a patent has been filed for a new style of bike rack which uses a "rotating arm member" to lift your bike onto the roof of your car for you!

Clearly, the dawn of a new age of bike-driving technology.
