I'm also perplexed about the lack of an actual platform on the rear rack of the BYB, but how could one be mounted?

Which "eyelets" do you refer to here? I would like to be able to mount panniers on this bike but there's no way of folding it with a pannier on either side and the one I can mount on the left side hangs way back and drags on the ground when I'm trollying the bike. Also no way of mounting the pop-cover to the frame even uf just one pannier is used because it blocks the frame locking bolt if mounted on the right.

Real screwey and I'm feeling so frustrated.

Suggestions?

QUOTE=tomtomtom123;21096328]The rear rack design is a bit strange on the BYB. It's offset to the right side. Not sure why. Only thing I could thing of is that it's because it has "low rider" rails instead of a full flat top rack, so the right pannier needs to be pushed further outward to clear the derailleur. And not having a full flat top rack means that you can't carry boxes or anything bulky. Although the frame appears to have extra eyelets so that you can mount your own rack.[/QUOTE]
