School day and everyone was headed home late. I was commuting home from St. Paul. I got the call from Hillary who was headed home in the Roo trike with T and H after T's tennis lesson. "How 'bout we order a pizza," she proposed. "How 'bout I get a bake-at-home pizza at Papa Murphys," I replied. I turned around and headed there. I got the pizza and wondered how I was going to get it home without it turning into a plastic-wrapped wad of pizza sauce, toppings, and dough.
With a little ingenuity it is amazing what you can strap to a bike. After scratching my head for a moment, I slipped one end of the pizza box into my left pannier rain cover and snagged one box corner with the handle of the right pannier. I wrapped the left pannier's strap over the left side of the box. But how to tension that strap? Ah, the side benefits of a cable lock. I unwrapped enough of my cable lock and slipped it through the strap, relocked and voila - the pizza was level and well secured without any added strapping. Little did the pannier company, Jandd, know that their rain cover can double as a pizza delivery sleeve!
