Hello
I'm looking for a simpler alternative to the orthodox rack + bags that hang off the rack.
On a daily basis, a
waterproof backpack can hold all my stuff, and I also keep a folding bag with me to carry a few kgs of groceries back home.
I figured a lighter and more theft-secure alternative would be a front- or rear-rack that has some "upright sides" (for lack of a better word) so I can simply put my backpack or grocery bag, possibly with a bungee cord to make sure it doesn't fall. It's more secure because that solution means I won't leave a pair of bags attached to the rack like I currently do (secured to the rack with a bunch of zip-locks so it takes several minutes to steal.)
Here's a picture of a rack with some sides so the bag doesn't move, and I don't need to buy a special bicycle bag that can hang off a rack.
IOW, it's kind of like a child carrier, except it's 1) meant to carry a backpack, and 2) lighter (aluminum).
More pictures:
I wish I could draw so that it'd be easier to explain what I meant :-/
Has someone seen something like that?
Thank you.
