Heh.
Mine would likely be the empty kitty litter bucket ones.
Or duct tape/hefty bags

Hmmm....
I could convert my insulated lunch bag to a pannier.
It would be the world's smallest pannier!
And...I saw a bungie cord on the road during yesterday's ride home. If it's still there, I'll pick it up. I wonder if I can make a pannier using ONLY stuff I already have around or have found on the ground?

That's funny, I was using 'found' bungee cords to hold stuff to my rack before I bought the Wald wire pannier duo. Oh man, I love them. But I look homeless. My insulated lunch cooler (coleman) fits *perfectly* in them. I now have my insulated shopping compartment. I need something for the top of the rack tho...milk crate is too big ..what to do...what to do...
It would be fugly but it would be a great work of art. Rolling functional art.

There is also the only-slightly-classier-than-kitty-litter-bucket option of garbage cans!

I swear if I had seen this before I bought mine I would have seriously considered those trash cans

I really dig those trash can panniers! Those would be perfect for leaving the bike outside the grocery store or pharmacy....who's gonna steal a couple of trashcans with holes drilled in them?

I was going to make my own but found a pair of used ones for $12. I have a few parts in a corner ready to transform an old bag into a cool pannier, though. Seeing this thread motivates me to get going on that project again...

Maybe I'll list the empty kitty litter buckets with a couple bungee cords on ebay as a "Pannier Kit."
