Rack mounted Stuff

Hello all,

I was wondering whether anyone has any tips on how to affix a briefcase to a bicyle rack? I already have 2x Ortlieb bikepacker plus panniers for soft things but I have a big old battered aluminium briefcase for my laptop and meeting stuff.

It'd be nice if I could get some sort of fixing that would allow it to be vertical alongside the rack and not laid across the top tied on with bungees as i really don't want to risk it falling off.

Any help would be great

Cheers, Joe.

  • You could buy the connecting Ortlieb rack bag and put the briefcase in that?

    treat yourself to a decent courier bag for the laptop & meeting stuff and dump the briefcase?

    get yourself a cargo net that motorcyclists use for crap on the back seat they're usually only a fiver. my missus uses panniers and straps stuff on top of her rack (lol her rack :roll: )with one of these. you'd be amazed at the crap she can bring home on the bike. you should easily be able to get the briefy on with one.
