@bluegoatwoods - Wow! That looks like you can haul some impressive sized loads on those racks!
@K'Tesh - I'm unclear as to how that attaches to the handlebars. Is it bungie-strapped on?
@clawhammer7 - Interesting. Have you ever taken a spill with that on the back? If so how did it fare? Is that a pretty rugged plastic container? I think if I were transporting a laptop that way, I'd want some foam or bubble wrap to reduce any shocks it experiences. Then again, I've dropped my laptop several times in the 6 years I've had it and it's been fine so far.
@keifer - The DIY mirror may actually be better than a commercially available one. I had a couple of handlebar bike mirrors before I got my helmet one: one had a convex mirror but a crappy arm. The other had a nice, adjustable arm but a flat mirror that I could not see squat in. So I turned the mirror around and glued the convex mirror onto the back and used that. Then the plastic arm snapped, but a guy I worked with showed me a trick in which I could drill a hole through the two bits and screw it back together (possible with some glue, although that was several years ago already). It was probably the favorite of all my mirrors.
@FunkyStickman - that sounds really cool. I look forward to the details!
@tarwheel - Looks like you came up with a slick solution. I can't say that I would have thought of something so elegant.
