4 individual velcro straps wrap around the rack top rails and fasten to the corresponding strips on the sides of the bag. This mounts far more easily then bags with straps which fasten beneath the bag (and rack top). It also will attach more easily when pannier hooks are resting on the top side rails.
www.nashbar.com is a typical online US vendor, selling mainly new modern components and cycling clothing. Their bargain items are great and worth both looking and waiting for... plus they frequently offer additional discounts on your entire order. The rear rack shown here I had purchased on sale for $10 (was $30) the bag $13 (was $25) Zefal pump $30 (was $40) and additional discounts had essentially wiped out any shipping fees.
By selectively shopping and buying in advance some items which I know I will likely use later, I can afford (or at least justify) the more expensive and extravagant items - such as the stainless steel water bottles and the Honjo alloy fenders also used on this bike.

Empty bike racks at the North Avenue and Milwaukee/Damen Blue Line station on Chicago's L.
Odd, compared to the extreme number of bikes I saw at another station less than a year earlier.

After my el cheapo aluminum Axiom Journey rack broke in four welds and sheared one spar, I installed a Tubus Airy. I chose the Airy because it's very strong and light, with Tubus' extender adapter it clears my 700c wheel and fender, and it attaches to the brake bridge. The MMD lacks upper seat stay brazeons.
Don't think I'll tweet this one (not even for you, Tom!) as at the end of the day it's just a shoe rack, but designing and constructing it was a creative exercise in itself, which makes it SCED-worthy!
How not to ship a 200.000 euro Netapp filer cluster. Minimal padding, harddisks and components still in the rack. No shock absorbing of any kind. I wonder how many disks are broken. Damaged power cable.
Vintage chef spice rack. Boys have solid colored shirts and girls have polka dots, but everybody has a bow tie. Fabulously confusing! Especially as all of the faces are identical. LOL! Pepper, Cloves, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Allspice. Salt is conspicuously absent!
Steve's post about the primal attraction to blinky lights that's prevalent among the males of our species made me blush -- because I'm deep into an ongoing little project that's all about my primal attraction blinky lights. That, and toggle switches which make a satisfying *click,* which Steve neglected to mention explicitly, but which is intuitively understood by all to be an essential corrolary of his blinky light thesis.
This is the current state of our constantly evolving living room media rack, highlighting some of the new blinky electronics that have been installed recently to fill in the non-stereo space.
I still have much more work to do to obtain the true Dr. Strangelove-in-the-Batcave effect I aspire to, but it's coming together, and several generous Flickrfolk have already provided invaluable ideas and lovely surplus gear.
Drypool Bridge viewed through the pivot of North Bridge on 4th March 2013.
The design of both bridges is a Scherzer Rolling Lift bridge. Drypool was first installed in 1928, the current North Bridge in 1961.

I bought a self-assembly wine rack the other day, it's not as easy to put together as one might think. The seven long metal pieces slot into the nine shorter metal pieces. While the first pair of slots fit in just right, when one comes to fit the second pair the first pair fall apart. One gets them back in - firmly holding the second pair and then tries the third pair - whereupon the other two fall apart again. However, as you see, I have managed to get all sixty-three pairs of slots together … it does get easier as one gets more in. Now I am fitting lots of bits of wood in - we shall see how it goes :)
In the background one can see the shelves which hold back numbers of various photographic magazines. According to Walter Benjamin, "periodicals can form the prismatic fringe of a library."
Homemade rear rack on my old touring bike. Made from 1" x 1/4" hardware store aluminum stock, cut, bent, shaped, drilled, bolted, etc. Finished dimensions of the struts and rails are 1/4" x 15/32" (1" dimension split with a hacksaw). The taillight is Sturmey Archer for Dynohub, mounted in a large reflector.
We built an adjustable solar panel rack for our off grid homestead.
This can be adjusted for the best angle into the sun as the seasons change.

A stock fish rack (rack for drying fish) in Gjesvær by North Cape, Finnmark.
Only decorated with fishing nets.
HDR made of 3 exposures, went easy with the enhancements
oops, the perl.org rack is almost full ... (we could use a couple of new 1U servers though)
there are also a couple of switches on the other side and some fancy power distribution units hidden inside.
update february 2005: we now have 17 servers in the rack.
The front light has a wired switch that mounts to the stem. The switch controls on/off and high/low beam, and also has a USB port for charging devices off the front hub while you ride.
The racks are made from chromoly, are hand polished and chromed. The front light is a Luxos, by Busch & Muller, and is one of the brightest on the market. The lights front are rear are powered by the front generator hub.
With two Norfolk Southern auto rack trains on the move at the same time I saw an opportunity to create something a little difference. The train in the foreground is moving through mini plant and into Moorman Yard. The train in the background is on the Mad River Connection headed for the Fostoria District.
I love my Surly Nice Rack except for the stupid single light mounting point. None of my four rear blinkies are capable of bolting to it without bodging so I had this cateye one mounted on the seatpost instead. That meant when I had my backpack bungied on the top for riding home from work (late at night) the light was mostly obscured.
I'm trying this home-made hack using a dumpster-dived section of Razor scooter. It won't be appearing in the Rivendell catalogue anytime soon but I don't really care what it looks like on my old commuter as long as it functions well.
I drilled two small holes so I could zip-tie the mounting strap for added security.
