How A Small Frustration Grew to Establishing One of The Leading Bike Rack Brands Globally

The Steadyrack Story

Steadyrack was born from CEO and Founder David Steadman’s universal frustration of not being able to park his car in his garage due to various family members bikes being left on the ground, on his side of the garage. Sound familiar?

Like many other families, the rest of David’s family weren’t able to lift their bikes up and juggle them onto the hooks on the walls.

David repeatedly asked himself, “Surely there has to be a way to get bikes hanging on a wall without having to try juggle the bike onto some kind of hook?” Within two weeks of sharing his frustration with his Father-in-law Ron at a family BBQ, a very crude handmade rack turned up.

"Surely there has to be a way to get bikes hanging on a wall without having to try juggle the bike onto some kind of hook”.

There was no pivot, a metal flat mount and no rear tire rest but the prototype was the beginning of David and Ron’s five-year journey of multiple home-made iterations, that resulted in the now patented Steadyrack and the rest, as they say, is history.

In 2009, Steadyrack officially produced and sold its first racks. Local bike enthusiast, Nick Sima, was our first ever customer who installed the first of now 100’s of thousands of private and public Steadyrack installations.
