Self-made panniers with 11 dollars

I planned to travel my country, Korea, for 2 weeks by bike this summer. I bought lots of things such as tent, sleeping bag, etc. for my trip. But I decided to make panniers for myself because they were too expensive. I read some articles on how to make panniers at the online biker communities. At first, I was not sure that I could make them. But I made a try.

I bought 2 metal nets at Daiso, a shop like dollarama in Canada. There were two sizes of net. I chose longer one for my bag. It is 1.7 dollars for each. I bought two nets. So it is 3.4 dollars in total.

I also bought a bunch of cable ties at a hardware shop. It is 85 cents.

This is my Nike bag that I bought at Toronto at half price when I studied Engligh for a year.

I tied the bag at net, using its straps and cable ties.

And then I tied the net with bag at rear rack of my bike with cable ties. I CAN DO ANY THINGS WITH CABLE TIES!!!

This is my bike with self-made panniers at the back.

I also bought water-proof cover against rain. I only have to put the cover on the bag if it rains.

Two nets: 3.4 dollars

Cable ties: 85 cents

Rear rack: 6.79 dollars

Total: about 11 dollars
