I have a cheap back flat fender that's tied down to my bike rack underneath by zip ties. So cheap and effective.

I'm not sure I could be so creative on the fly, but I'm holding not only my rear blinky light but also both of my Wald folding grocery baskets to my commuter's rear rack with zip ties. Way easier (and more secure, it seems) than the brackets that came with the stuff, which always seemed to work loose on my bumpy-road commute. Yep, zip ties are pretty fabulous...

Way to go!
If you can't fix it with zip ties, paper clips and duct tape, it ain't broke.

You are such a McGyver! That is awesome! I love cable ties and that reminds me that I just used the last of them and need more!

That is awesome. There have been many days that I often wished that I had cable ties with me. A couple in my saddle bag might not be a bad idea!!

And they weigh virtually nothing so you won't notice any extra weight
