Besides, crappy quick-release seatpost mounted racks are already commonplace at Walmart, try harder.
i was thinking more for the riders who have specialist bikes such as downhill bikes, or road race bikes who do not wish to have pannier racks attatched to there bikes but do occasionally wish to make a trip to the supermarket to pick up groceries, the detachable rack im thinking of would clip onto the seatpost and the two seat stays or chain stays. it would be as strong as a rack but easily mounted and removed for that quick trip to the shops, uni or work. what do you think?
