I've seen the rear bucket panniers and that's what I'm doing, but I like how this girl improvised when not having a front rack. Very creative. I'm going to steal that idea as I'm trying to budget. Also incorporating dry bags and arno straps. And not sure who the guy is, but he's also said fuck...
So, after many failed attempts at finding a reliable road dawg, I'm saying fuck it and hitting the road on my lonesome. This is greatly inspired by Gypsybones. Reading about his trips gets my blood flowing. After doing extensive research I've put together a budget setup for those broke asses...
I'm looking for some suggestions on making a home made saddle sack / pannier for my bicycle. I'm flat broke after spending money replacing my stolen gear. I do have lots of scrap metal laying around , some basic power tools and I think a few planks of wood. I just need something cheap and...
I've been researching panniers to purchase and came across these high quality (and high priced) ones that convert into a backpack! They're made by https://www.pannierbackpacks.com in Colorado. I'm just trying to decide if I would ever need to quickly convert to backpack mode from bike touring mode.
I'm exploring the idea of bike touring, and curious what some of you experienced dawgs carry in your home on wheels. What's the one thing you can't live without on the road that you sacrifice space and/or weight for?
Just stumbled across this and thought I should share this brilliance with ya'all --
i will definitely be trying to do something similar to this -- maybe the alice on one side and sleep sack on the other...

If you ever looked into buying panniers, you have probably found out they are one of those items on the niche market of cycling touring equipment that can be quite expensive. Even used they can run around $100. There are a lot of cheap and easy diy's out there if you do a google search. My...
Hey folks, just wanted to get everyone's opinion on bike trailers vs panniers. i'm gearing up for a west coast tour this spring, and while I'm mostly leaning towards panniers, i'd like to get your opinions on which you like better and why? thanks!
Not sure whether to post this in how to or bike touring.
I made panniers out of kitty litter tubs so I can lug shit around on the cheap. They are awesome, you can remove them and take them in places so your stuff doesn't get stolen. They seem very durable.
This guy took pictures and showed...
I'm not too sure if this is the right section to post.
I just got a new set of Ortlieb Front Roller Classic and the lower clip that secures onto the rack seems to not move unless loosened - when it is, it has too be tightened as it slides all over the shop.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong...
