Does anyone know what these two holes on the rear of my pannier rack are for? It's an Electra Townie rack:

Has anyone noticed this guy HAS A BROOKS SUSPENSIONISED SADDLE! f'in hell thats cool!
Those holes are universal attachment holes. They can be used for attaching light mounts (sometimes bags on top of the rack will obscure seat post lights), kiddie trailers and as has already been suggested, caravans.0 -
Cool!
Just ordering a caravan now...

You could get some nice decals to go over the holes. I'm sure there is a thread on here offering them ?0

Anyway, going back to my two holes, how would I attach a light or reflector onto them? I've spent ages looking for rear lights and reflectors but they all generally have mounts for seat posts.
The ones for pannier mounting have horizontally spaced holes at 50mm or 80mm. My holes are vertically spaced at 20mm.0 -

Example of a bracket for Moon lights. Other brands do similar things and some lights come with them included.0 -
I just know whatever you do, do not stick your right pinky finger into one of them.0

I'm thinking lady cyclist, no kids, decent disposable income, more than a hint of OCD?
Please don't start a post with "Anyway, going back to my two holes"0 -
I do need something prettier than a reflector though so any suggestions are welcome!0
