Under the seat of the 14degrees bike, there is a rack to attach some small sized pannier bags. There was a space here to stow a small drybag filled with tools and spare parts, so I have attached some nylon straps and clips to hold the drybag in place.
すばらしい you`re a real recumbant handy man!
[...] Our bikes are loaded with a random assortment of mismatched panniers. Unfortunately, we did not find the time to test out panniers and pick the ones we liked the most. This trip will help us do that and figure out what works and what doesn’t from a packing perspective. Right now, Scott is using a set of Ortlieb Bike Packer Plus (40l) as rear panniers, and Arkel RT-40 recumbent touring under seat panniers (40l). Becky is using Vaude World Tramp II Plus rear panniers (44l) and Ortlieb front roller plus under seat panniers (20l). In addition, we each have a dry bag strapped between our under seat racks (thanks to Rob Thompson for the idea) and another one or two attached to our rear rack. It certainly looks and feels like we’re carrying all our worldly posessions with us! [...]
