A Gun Rack for Your… Bicycle?

    The Grubee bike-mounted gun rack

    The firearms industry produces its fair share of, shall we say, “niche” products. From Henry’s smoothbore .22 repeater to folding Glocks and much, much more, most of us have come across at least a few offerings that make us scratch our heads. For many, the Grubee bicycle gun rack is likely to be one of those. This rack for Schwinn shooters will run pedal-jockeys $49.95. Grubee advertises free domestic shipping, so no need to hire a bike courier to deliver your sweet new rimfire receptacle.

    A marketing piece from Oklahoma-based Grubee, Inc.

    Grubee looks to be a fairly dichotomous operation. Their website’s categories almost exclusively feature either bicycle products like frames and retrofitted bike motors, or gun products. The latter set includes some inexpensive riflescopes and a buttstock trap-door cartridge carrier, as well as the Huffy howitzer-holder. It’s a bit reminiscent of the scene from the 2001 film “Joe Dirt”, in which David Spade’s character encounters the fireworks stand proprietor who only carries two product lines. If Dirt met Grubee’s owners, they might just look at him like the fireworks salesman and proclaim, “We only like rifles and bicycles.”

    Another quirky marketing item featured on Grubee’s website.

    The Bicycle Gun Rack’s official product description, verbatim:

    Does away with mounting your rifle or shotgun horizontal on handlebars.

    Enjoy straight line quick draw access from rack to shoulder.

    If you can ride your bike through the trees and bushes so will your gun!

    Allows you to roll up on’em instead of walk up on’em!.

    Your Firearm is better protected when securely mounted between riders arms.

    Firearm is held in V grip rubber holders secured with over the top locking straps.

    A straight-away gun rack allows you to go between 2 trees without banging up your gun.

    Works on most mountain bikes with a top tube sloped downward like in attached pictures.

    ATV TEK makes the basic Rack Kit for bike handlebars and we add in a front mount threaded spacer for straight-a-way mounting..

    Bikers are gonna love a “Straight-Away Gun Rack”

    Happy Trails from the GruBee

    Need to keep your Little Badger at close hand while tearing up the trails? You’re welcome! All in all, it’s probably fair to say this is… unusual. Was anyone really asking for this? But hey – if you want to channel Freddie Mercury and ride your bicycle, you want to ride it where you like, and you can’t bear to leave your Daisy Legacy .22 behind – this odd little blaster bracket could be the answer to your prayers. And if you’re a hipster riding a fixed-gear bike ironically, pair a pumpkin-spice Glock with your pedal-powered Mongoose for your next #PSL run. Just don’t hurl over the handlebars and damage your firearm. See you at the range!
