I'm planning on making mine able to work with panniers first, with bars built in to hang the panniers from and all, and eventually I may go so far as to custom make some larger bags similar to the Xtracycle setup. I was also going to do some wideloaders too, with runningboards on them. I've built racks for my regular bikes, and I usually top them off with a custom made wood deck with some sort of design burned in the top. The Dummy shall be no different.

Frame gets here later this week, and I can't wait!
Great. It will be fun to compare our solutions. Looking forward to seeing your work.
I'll try to grab some time to make a bit of progress this week.
