Growing consumer demand for the Westfalia three-bike\r\nrack has seen Positive Sports Solutions make the product available from the\r\nbeginning of this month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The South African cycling distribution company has\r\nnegotiated a number of contracts over the past year to bring various premium\r\nbrands to the market in the Southern Africa Development Community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Among these are the highly rated Westfalia bike racks,\r\nthe components of which are imported from Germany and manufactured locally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After initially offering the two-bike rack to the\r\nsouthern African market, Positive Sports Solutions has gone a step further to\r\nsatisfy a growing call for the slightly bigger three-bike option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

David Pieterse, the company\u2019s product and technical\r\nmanager, said they had received \u201cloads of requests\u201d from cycling enthusiasts\r\nfor the next option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThere is far more interest in the three-bike rack\r\ncompared to the two-bike one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI think you find, as a cost factor, many people club\r\ntogether to attend races nowadays, so it\u2019s obviously better to transport as\r\nmany bikes as you can.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIn addition, if you go somewhere with your family or\r\nfriends, the three-bike option makes it ideal to travel together.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The good news for those who want to transport\r\nequipment is that the three-bike rack is almost identical to its smaller cousin\r\nand operates in the same way as the two-bike rack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cPeople will have no difficulty adapting to the\r\nthree-bike product because there is little difference, besides, naturally,\r\nbeing slightly bigger,\u201d said Pieterse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt complies with all the necessary legislation and\r\nhas been tested in exactly the same as the two-bike rack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cAll the racks have been TUV-tested and the three-bike\r\nrack is as stable as any other.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Being TUV-tested means the product has been examined\r\nto international standards and has satisfied all the requirements. Translated\r\ninto English, TUV stands for Technical Inspection Association.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He added that the locking system was the same for the\r\nbigger rack and that it could carry mountain bikes, road bikes and E-bikes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despite the growing popularity of the three-bike\r\noption, Pieterse said there was still a market for the smaller rack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt is largely due to the success of the two-bike option\r\nin our target market that people are now looking to expand their transportation\r\noptions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe three-bike racks are available at all cycling stores or you can purchase them through our website [www.positivesportssolutions.co.za<\/a>] at the same price as in the retail shops.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
