So I was reading a bunch of posts about diy bags, and came across this post (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=466035&highlight=masonite). I was thinking it might be a good project for a Saturday afternoon, so I put it off. Then this morning, I got this looking at me:
81697
Note the very empty bowl.
So, having picked up a rack a few days ago, I finally put it on the bike (it's a Raleigh Record, late 80's I believe?), and dug up some bags my wife had fetched a few months ago:
81698
It's not as pretty, and I didn't have any masonite (and as the pet store is next to the hardware store, I couldn't really drive over for the board, drive back, and then ride back to the same place).
However, even without the board, it produced the desired results:
81699
I live near enough to the grocery store that I usually walk, but for the pet store, auto parts store, pharmacy, liquor store, and the lbs, I'll be on the bike. I'm hoping to find some coroplast or plexi for walls in the next few days to keep spoke rub down. The exercise alone was worth the trip, and I got a happy dog for free. Not quite car free, but we're getting there.
