    Making a luggage rack while on the road

    While in Laos, I was having a problem with a sagging duffle bag, so I made my own rack for super cheap. Here is an illustration.



    I just bought a cheap metal shelf (has plastic coating) for about $5, then I used some zip ties to secure it to the bike's back rack. This worked well! Preferably I'd have found some bolts with some thick rubber washers and some wide metal washers. Next time..

    I have more illustrations and stuff like this in my e-book.

    Hope this helps. I have more junk like this on my website.

    Interesting that I can see the picture and sign in to Flickr in BJ. I am using Firefox with a little add-on, which obviously does a bypass job, a little slow though. Also tried it with Google Chrome and it works too. Didn't try IE (sucks).
