Do you loathe loaves crushed in panniers?
Relieve that pain (haha) today with a Painnier!

This is just a cardboard box I crafted to protect a loaf of bread, because we all know what happens if you try to squish a loaf into your pannier.

Here’s what my bicycle looked like for this morning’s commute:

I had to stop mid-ride and waste several minutes adjusting this monstrosity so it didn’t spill my groceries across Greenbank. This problem needed a solution.

Features:

(*) Double-walled including alternated corrugation “grain” for strength++;

(*) Angled braces at the vertices for rigidity++;

(*) A layer of packing tape for water-resistance++;

(*) Duct tape carry handle for portability++;

(*) Strap down points on the bottom — just like the carry handle only smaller, flatter, and there are two of them that line up with the straps already on my bike to hold my laptop bag.

Missing:

(*) A strap to keep the last end-flap closed. I have a plan for this involving duct tape and coat hanger wire.
