I used a Fat Tire beer box that I had in the corner and just strapped it to my rack (with the same bungee that you have.

I don't belong to one, but love picking up produce at the local farmer's market by pedal. It's probably the perfect shopping experience -- satisfying on all fronts!<br /><br />Nice job on the impromptu panniers!Tuk-Tukhttp://roadtrike.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-12041262390098182132012-07-02T12:22:42.205-04:002012-07-02T12:22:42.205-04:00I have Bibia brand "quattro" rack straps...I have Bibia brand "quattro" rack straps that I purchased at Clever Cycles in Portland. I love them, and they've stood up to 4 years of heavy use- although I may need to replace them in the next year or so as they're getting a little stretched out. <br />A metal receiver is threaded onto the axle and held in place with the axle nut. You can detach the end of the strap from the receiver by twisting it 90 degrees to do stuff like loop it through a box :)<br /><br />I bought a similar product locally (Pyramid brand I believe) but am not as happy with it.cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-15668759486227490862012-07-02T12:12:04.879-04:002012-07-02T12:12:04.879-04:00Can I ask what kind of bungee cords you use?

I'll have to remember that. <br /><br />If you had posted this a week ago I would have punched holes in the bottom of the pizza box and bungeed it on this day: http://ladyfleur.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/bike-date-friday-stays-home-pizza-delivery/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
