A bicycle storage unit is disclosed. The unit includes a rotatable bicycle storage carousel that is structured to rotate about a central axis to provide for a dense storage of bicycles, which are stored on the rotatable bicycle storage carousel in a generally vertical orientation. The unit further includes an enclosure surrounding the carousel. The rotatable bicycle storage carousel comprises an elongated central core oriented in a first direction that is orthogonal relative to a plane defined by a base structure of the rotatable bicycle storage carousel. The elongated central core is rotatable relative to the base structure. The carousel further includes multiple bicycle storage assemblies on which bicycles can be hung.

A sports goggle includes double lens goggles having inner and outer lenses joined at their perimeter by an adhesive, such as silicone, to form an air cavity. A vent is formed on the outer lens to permit equalization of the air cavity with the environment. The vent includes a plug formed of a water impermeable and gas permeable material. An expansion member may insert within the plug to maintain the plug within the vent. In an alternative embodiment, a rivet having air channels formed therein secures a ring of permeable material to the lens.

Method and arrangement for providing a bicycle transport system that includes a rack assembly securing a bicycle, with both wheels still attached, in the bed of a pickup truck without requiring physical modification of the pickup truck bed. The transport system includes a rack frame having a securing assembly releasably securing the rack frame in the bed of a transporting pickup truck. The system also includes a bicycle restraining portion that is maintained in abutting engagement with a front tire of a bicycle being transported in the pickup truck bed. The securing assembly has an anchor member that in a secured configuration maintains the rack frame in abutment with the pickup truck bed so that the rack frame is substantially fixing relative to the truck bed. The bicycle restraining portion has a constrictable arm that presses upon the front tire of the bicycle in a transporting configuration. The arm exerts a compression force, obliquely directed with respect to both horizontal and vertical, upon the bicycle front tire in such a manner that the tire is compressed into a substantially fixed position above the truck bed when in the bicycle transporting configuration.
