Bike Project

Also put on a water/coffee bottle holder and under-seat bag. The next addition will be a bag for the back rack. I want something which will be a small cooler for lunch and space for miscellaneous gear.

I use the basket for my camera bag and other assorted items - really expensive foul weather rain poncho ($1), bungee cords, wash cloth, extra plastic bags, etc... I strap the lunch cooler with extra water on the back rack. I don't have a tripod, but Chris would like your holder for a fishing rod. We also have a metal basket for the back rack, but it's very rarely on the bike.

Be careful swinging your leg over the back when the tripod is loaded in your holder. We wouldn't want you and the bike to fall down and go boom!!

hope you don't fall too Rick, but if you do, try and get a picture of it.

Here is my set up. The blue crate is great for bungee cording the camera backpack. And the bags have plenty of room for misc. gear.

Looks good, but I don't see the tripod holder with the blue crate setup or is it one or the other?

Thanks for pointing that out Ron. I don't drink coffee, guess that's my problem. Half the time I don't look at the name, just read and look at the photo.

John, you better be careful swinging your leg over the crate, especially when it's loaded!!

Wow, Lots of storage space! I may go with a crate or something similar on the rack. I saw a collapsible one in my searches.

 

[John P]

I really like the blue crate. Pretty low sides. And quite a few attatchment points for bungees.

I stick my tripod in a side bag, and zip the bag tight to it. Then bungee the top to the side of the crate.
I really like your scabard. Excellent idea.

How is your bike project coming along?

A couple new additions, side view mirror and a holder for my Iphone. I'm using the "map my ride plus" app (only 2.99) and it is awesome. GPS tracks everything including routes, which I can set up on my PC and it loads to the phone. Has a real nice active display of distance, speed, time,..ect. Went for a 20 mile ride this morning with all the gear and it worked out excellent.

It comes in handy, also will see if I get a call while riding.

Coming along

Is that a weatherproof phone case? Might want to consider one or a mount that covers the device.

​No, not weather proof. I will probably only ride in good weather so I don't melt . If I get caught in the rain, it will go in a pocket or the camera bag (which has a built in rain fly).
