Think you've seen it all? Bet you've never seen one of these. Meet the Upside Rack, which as it sounds carries you bike upside down on the roof of your car and might be a great antidote for people who hate having a bike rack on their roof full time.

Clamps lock onto your bike's bar.

The system fixes all bike types on normal roof rack rails with no pre-assembly required and no need to leave it on your car between rides. It's also small and portable, so you could conceivably ride to work with it in your pack (or strapped to your bike frame) and catch a lift home with a friend. Check out this video to see it in action.

The secure but soft grips promise to safely hold your bike no matter the shape of the frame or the size of the tires (mountain, fat, plus, road, you nakme it). It can also be switched between vehicles. And since it's not a permanent fixture on your car's roof, the Upside Rack saves you from wind noise and extra fuel consumption.

Once the bike install is complete it's ready to go on the roof.
