(Just inherent distrust of bungees after decades of using them... call me a bungee bigot.)
I thought about doing the bend, actually, but my bike is a folder and I take it on Amtrak trains, where I sometimes have to fit it into a narrow utility closet, so I didn't want to do anything to increase the width.
As for the dangling bungees, they're usually secured, but I didn't bother for the photo, since I was just going to take my bag off the rack as soon as I was done taking the picture.
