Very cool, quick and handy little build. I like that it is wood too. I may do that myself. Thanks for the idea.

[@BruceChastain]

Hi Lee. Sure thing and thank you. Yes if is a real easy build, of course the false floor adds a bit, but that's optional.

[@12villages]

Nice idea powering the lights using a plain power bank

[@dcercado100]

Awesome work! Thanks for sharing a really good idea.

[@BruceChastain]

Thanks for watching!

thanks GK!

I liked the bicycle.

thanks Erie!

Nice basket! Is that bike for doing small errands and going to work and such?

[@BruceChastain]

Yep that's right, although I did do a 83km ride with it yesterday evening.

@@BruceChastain 51 miles! My goodness long ride!

I buy my wire baskets at thrift shops for few dollars.

Great idea with the hidden compartment.
But I find the IKEA Knagglig boxes are rather heavy for their size. Especially the heavy duty double studs are overkill.
I have one of these much lighter wooden boxes from Hornbach mounted on the front of an old stiff fork MTB in randonneur style:

I love how you can just throw anything in the box and just go

[@BruceChastain]

Thanks cheesy! And yes it is pretty heavy for a small box, but the whole bike is already heavy anyway.

[@BruceChastain]

ah, I just got a chance to look at the one in your link, that looks very good! and low cost too.

Clever!

What size of knagglig did you use?

[@BruceChastain]

sorry, I really dont remember.

[@austinmaxi555]

@@BruceChastain no worries, thanks for replying.

[@BlazejTymowicz]

I thought the same seeing the baskets yesterday :D
does not it rattle?
why not front rack? :D

[@BruceChastain]

the basket itself doesn't rattle, but yes the stuff I put in the hidden area does, I'm trying to solve that now with some cloth. And I just like rear baskets better, at least I think I do. Although I've recently added a front basket to another one of my bikes and it's pretty nice.

Hey thanks man

[@jimbarron8688]

I watched this entire video and I don't even have a short turning radius gravel lane.

[@BruceChastain]

Lots of great gravel here in Switzerland.
