Affordable - Durable - Practical
The Standard Bucket
The Standard Bucket! $30.00 One works great; two doubles your capacity. Order them online or find a local shop that carries them. Here at Sellwood Designs, we strive to keep the functionality high and the price low! The standard Bike Bucket includes a tether strap with a snap to keep the lid from being lost. The bucket also includes a small shock cord on the top to hold the lid in place without having to "hard seal" the lid down. The bucket comes with mounting instructions. In order to use the bucket, one needs a standard rack or basket already mounted on the bike. Note: Shipping is $9.00 for the first bucket $6.00 per bucket after that.
The Bike Bucket Kit
The Bike Bucket Kit! $15.00 This kit is all you need for building your own bucket! (except for the bucket) Ideal for the Do it Yourself folks with moderate skill and a few tools. It definitely saves money on shipping and is a great family project that can provide real satisfaction and use upon completion! Buckets can be found in a variety of places, such as kitty litter, detergent, and used food grade buckets. The buckets need to be square or rectangular. Round buckets will not really work. Note: The kits do not include the snap strap that keeps the lid tethered to the bucket with the built in snap that are included in our in house built buckets. Shipping is $6.00 for the first kit, $2.00 per kit after that.
Why bike buckets are the best way to carry things on your bike!
Bike
Buckets are the best idea ever for waterproof, durable panniers. Recycled
buckets make the ideal container for all kinds of things that you need to carry
on your bike. Bike Buckets use similar hardware to other pannier style
carriers, making them easy to put on and off most standard racks, front or rear. They are firmly attached for an excellent
method of portage. They feature a lid
with a snap strap to keep it from being lost; also a thin shock cord holds the
lid in place, allowing a watertight fit without “sealing hard” the lid to the
bucket. The hooks are coated stainless
steel, made in California. The buckets
themselves are recycled clean food grade buckets. Using only one bucket works perfectly well,
even heavily loaded. The rider naturally
adjusts his or her balance for a smooth ride.
What about bike touring?
Bike Buckets perform exceptionally well for the bike tourist. The buckets are raccoon proof when the lid is sealed hard. The buckets also serve a dual purpose of being chairs and tables for the tourist. They're great for carrying awkward items like ice, wash cloths and utensils, and it's easy to clean the buckets themselves. The buckets are durable and robust, with few parts that can break or malfunction.
Bike Buckets are visible!
The white buckets provide the rider with excellent visibility that also encourages cars to give a wider passing distance. And while buckets are square, their smooth surface reduces wind resistance. Bike Buckets have been in widespread use in Portland, Oregon for over 20 years.
