POD is a simple low cost solution for carrying heavy recyclable carrier bags, a laptop bag or a suit carrying bag on the rear of a push bike.
The device clips onto standard bike racks and allows the user to hang up to four bags along the rack's side. Key features are the two carrier bag hooks located on either side of the rack, which uses a very simple locking system to keep the bags in place and prevent them from swinging to aid stability; a mesh which prevents the bags from hitting the rear wheel and pedals; a water proof flap for protecting groceries from the weather; and under-bag support to prevent heavy bags from collapsing.
The POD can also be clipped onto a shopping trolley. The user shops as normal and when checking out, the user can load POD, which can then be carried to the bike and clipped back on for the cycle ride home.
When at home, the POD is unclipped and brought indoors for unloading; it and the now empty recyclable carrier bags can be rolled up and stored for future use. This intrinsically supports carrier bag reuse.
The suit carrying function uses a standard suit carrier folded in half and slotted into POD, this allows commuters to cycle to work.
POD has also won several awards and was selected for an episode of The Apprentice.
