Hacks / Bodges

I wanted a way of carrying this briefcase on my planner rack. So I made a webbing harness for it.

Then I attached a pannier clip rail to it.

And hey presto:

Very dignified.

Yeah, I'm pretty chuffed with it.

There might even be a market for it?

Throw some used seatbelts at it and it’ll sell like hot cakes in the artsy craftsy world.
Maybe use terminology like ‘work packing’.

Floor pump hack when your bushing is worn out.. Zip tie it, snip it and good as new..

@mashton and @Kdregg with strong bodge game!

Highest praise I've ever had on here. Almost.

Ride around the block commuters.

Throw some used seatbelts

Airline seatbelts would be perfect.

Anyone got a number for Finnair?

(Too soon?)

Emergency bolt replacement this morning. 10 years of zip ties in my tool roll finally vindicated.

Depending on how tight it is I'd consider putting a strap over the top also? Might be pretty appealing to traffic-light theives otherwise.

But yeah looks neat

Yeah. I was going to. But I've run out of straps....

Have been thinking about doing this with a Pelicase for years.

Ride report!

Not sure why I didn't do this first...
Was missing the toothpick that didn't come with the alu version of my little jack knife, so I made one out of brass and got a little holder for it. Unfortunately it added bulk to my key ring and the possibility of losing the toothpick always loomed. I took another look at the knife and figured I could grind down the screwdriver/fingernail cleaner thing into a hook shape that would work and still not affect it's utility as a fingernail cleaner (yes, with assiduous cleaning between uses).
The screwdriver utility is no great loss to me.

TLDR - picture
