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

Step 6 Handle Bar Bucket Pannier

 

The Handle Bar Bucket is made out of a new 1 gallon food grade plastic bucket with a new Zink plated wire hanger and new lid.  The standard Handel Bar Bucket is decorated with a 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” reflective sticker. 

 

The Handel Bar Bucket fits on most bike handle bars, however some brake cables don’t allow enough room for the bucket.  A bike shop might be able to adjust placement of brake levers and shifters to fit the Handel Bar Bucket.  If you are not completely satisfied return the bucket for a refund, buyer pays shipping.    

 

Don’t let the name stop you form putting the Handel Bar Bucket on the rack as well!

 

The Sound Bucket also called the Boom Bucket has 2 wholes drilled in the bottom and a strap for using with a small speaker device.  The sound bucket is not completely water tight, but your music player will stay drier in the bucket than out.  The Sound Bucket still has plenty of space to store other things. 

 

The Story of BiciConeX Bucket Panniers

 

By Woodsin Joseph

 

I am not the first person to hook a bucket to my bike, or the first to try to sell buckets as a bicycle pannier, but I have come up with simple secure system.  I saw how other people hooked buckets onto their bikes and tried to copy them, but I wanted something that is stable, easy to remove and doesn’t compromise the bucket by drilling wholes.  One day I got the idea, all it takes to hold a bucket on my bike rack is a simple bent wire!
