Recycle: Carry More Stuff on a Bike

It may sound simplistic, but I need to carry two bags of fruit home on the bike today. And my backpack is already overcrowded. So I typed on over to my favorite make-it-your-darn-self site Instructables to see my options for DIY bike panniers. Apparently, there are a lot of options! Enjoy the photos and the links.

May you get your stuff around without firing up an air-trashing motor! If you feel inspired to build something, please share pics.
