Exactly! Works very well.

I’m replying from the Eternity client. Brilliant!

Sorry, after joining with much enthusiasm, my life was overtaken by other responsibilities and pressures. I’m in a much better place now (camping and relaxing without internet or TV helps!) Let me know how the bucket build goes. I’ll watch the utility cycling and fixing communities for updates.

Looks great. Love the homemade mirror! I wish more places had bike racks to lean your bike against. The racks you put a wheel into are generally terrible if you’re carrying any weight.

I joined this great community a couple months ago with a lot of enthusiasm but then fell off the map - too much going on. I just finished two weeks without wifi or cell service and I’m ready to engage. Thanks for being there SLRPNK!

This bucket pannier followed plans from “Portland by Cycle”: https://www.portland.gov/transportation/walking-biking-transit-safety/documents/instructions-building-inexpensive-bike/download

I found that I needed to make my own hooks by bending flat steel straps. An important addition to the plans is the addition of the backing plate inside. I used some scrap plywood and fender washers. My last bucket lasted about 7-8 years until it was stolen, so I’ve also added a way to lock it to the bike rack.

If you put the hooks at the right level vertically then the top of the lid is level with the bike rack allowing you to securely strap even more stuff on the back of the bike.
