Thanks for the idea. I had a couple of empty rice bags taking up space and now I don't. Ride safe and be well.

very simple in hoping to build something like this but more permenant (im 13 and cycle a bmx so theres not much stuff for it So i have to make my own racks and stuff so far i have some stuff done for it like a wooden rear rack

Yes. The frame keeps it out quite nicely. I just hauled some milk, cereal, pickles, and some other stuff back from the local Wegmans. Nice that it came in as a shopping bag with me!

Simple and effective! The frame keeps it out of the rear wheel I guess? L
