The loading pattern of the Ribbon Bike Rack is one bicycle in each bend and one on each end.
By placing the Ribbon Bike Rack in a series, one foot on center, end to end, the racks will appear continuous. As the ends count as a space, one space is given up to achieve the continuous look. The example below shows how two 7-capacity racks can appear to be continuous and are equivalent to a 13-capacity unit.
