Step 6Instant Bulk Panniers

Instant Bulk Panniers
Emily took me scavenging in Manhattan. We got so many veggies she needed more cargo capacity. I tied loops of twine between two milk crates and hung them over her back basket.
She writes: "My new panniers hold more than a refrigerator and do not fit on the subway
elevator. I had to bike a special gradually increasing inclined route tonight
up to 175 with all baskets brimming."

Nice list!! How do the baskets stay put when riding over bumpy roads? In picture 3 it seems that there is a black support on the side of the basket.. And what's with the shades while it's dark? ;)
