Bob O’Donnel, founder of Function First Bike Security, began designing commercial bike racks in 1989, when bike parking was not as common as it is now. It was especially rare to find a bike rack that was compatible with newer bikes, which were lighter, had quick release wheel levers, but did not have kickstands. It was clear that bike racks had to hold a bike up and allow the user to lock the front wheel and bike frame with a U-lock. Starting with The Bike Rib inverted-U rack and The Rib Rack, Function First Bike Security has produced a number of original and functional designs. Bob has always strived be an innovator, not an imitator in his "Cycle-Logical" approach to designing commercial bike racks that are manufactured in the United States utilizing American labor and American steel.
