Step 9: Reap the Benefits
Now you're all set. Load up your panniers with a picnic and go riding with a friend. Or, toss your computer and books in and head to school. Or, find a vehicle that matches your bike and take gratuitous photos.
As a note... Yes, I am attaching my bungee to my swing arm. Yes, the distance between the bag and swing arm changes when going over bumps. No, the bag doesn't jump off. I've added a little extra tension to make sure, but the act of the bump will tend to push the bike up and newton's law will tend to keep the bag where it was (at that point, below the rack). No problems thus far riding on the streets (and off the sidewalk curbs) of San Francisco.

Actually, the pinzgauer was made by Puch, an Austrian company ;) I'm a vintage moped junkie, and Puch made some of the best mopeds. Coincidentally they made some really cool vehicles as well. If my Puch didn't get wrecked, I'd be making some panniers for it.
