A hack to ensure you are always able to carry stuff on your bike #cycling #biking

A huge thanks to my sponsors this year. They support this channel, so please support them. They also make amazing products that I use every day and endorse without hesitation.

Priority Bikes: I happily rode Priority for years before they signed on as a sponsor this year.

Xtracycle and Priority are affiliated brands.

I don’t really do proper product reviews, but here are some products that I’ve tried on this channel that I like. (Of course, you don’t need anything fancy to ride a bike, other than a bike, but these are Amazon affiliate links, and I get paid a small commission if you buy them 😉)

I've used bungee cords but you've got to be careful.
A friend's daughter had the bungee cord fall into the chain and cogs, warping her hanger.
Plus the usual danger of it snapping back and the metal hook hitting you on the eye

use ROK Straps ! A bungee mixed with a strap. It's the best thing ever.

[lafamillecarrington]

Remember to check the cord regularly - the stretch goes out of them surprisingly quickly!

[actinggurl]

I do this too! Saves me almost weekly when I inevitably buy too many groceries😅

Dutch style bikes come "snel-binders" for the rack. However, leaving them on the rack is bad for them... you might find they have rotted with exposure to the weather.

Could you share the name/brand of the bag you use on this video? Thanks

[SourojitBh]

How's the bag getting attached? Is it a special kind of bicycle bag?

[sinatrabone]

This is such a real thing — I’ve been saved by my bungee cord before, and I’ve definitely been caught without it!!

[VishalSingh]

Could you please let us KNOW, how to make full fenders for 27.5 inch tyre

[vasheed]

On my folding bike I have 1 cord too. On my main ebike I have several and different sizes. I use them frequently.

[merendell]

I usualy have 2 bungies wrapped like that. Come in handy more than once.

[trystanswansonart]

ive only used bungees on my bike in dowentown calgary for 3 years and never had em stolen thank goodness

[velokernow]

I use the bungee cord but not the hooks. Just tie hoops in each end.

[reyna]

Aside from bungees, ski straps work arguably even better, as bungees can lose elasticity and unclip and hook your spokes (happened to me once, not fun!)

[tay-lore]

Just don't put it under so much tension. Creep is real, and if it's under that tensile load indefinitely, that bungee won't be bungin anymore after not too long (aka when you realize you need to use it). Just keep it snug enough to not fall off, but not stretched.

[SimonDGardner]

You haven't been to Berlin, that Bungee would be gone in 2 minutes 😂

[SharkbiteNYC]

It won't still be there in NYC. 😹😹😹

[blake-glwn]

Huh??
What’s the point of the bungee cord?
He does have a bag that fits on the rack (without bungee).

[myfredo]

...so, your 'hack' is: carry a bungee Cord with you?
