Bucket Panniers on a Wire for Bicycle Cargo Hauling on a Tight Budget

Step 2 Bending Wire For Bucket Panniers

 Bend the wire to the diameter and shape of the bucket.  For round buckets go all the way around and then half way around.  The two ends should be pointing in the same direction.  For square buckets straighten the wire first, then bend the wire to match two of the corners of the bucket.  The ends should be pointing in the same direction.

Optional.  Slide hose over ends of wire to protect finish or rack or handle bars.
