Unusual panniers

[bunny_ninja]

My locking job - no need for the end o'rack with our bike rack

U lock through frame to rack. Cable through both tires and onto U-lock. I am very lucky with that rack, but I am still nervous. Our security guard at work is always near there smoking - so that does provide a bit of safety.

I did a cross-state bike tour a few weeks ago, and some guy had wooden panniers on his bike. I didn't get a picture- but I wish I had. They were very interesting...

I have kitty litter bucket panniers. I painted mine red to match my bike. I like them, but haven't used them in a while. They are BIG and waterproof. And ugly as sin- but that just gives them "character."

Here are the instructions to make them:

Those are cool panniers, but I would not likely park my bike for the day with a cable lock. I have a good, strong u-lock. Nothing is inviceable, but it does seem to deter people from stealing my bike in some very interesting places.

Thankfully, at work, I get to park my bike.

Here is my "ghetto commuter" with hand-made panniers made in the same style to that above.



The whole point of them is to deter people from stealing them. I am painting them perriwinkle and putting on more reflectors. The trek trunk I will take with me.
