Here you can see one of the handlebar-mounted water-bottles. I originally had a single water-bottle cage on a central handlebar mount, but I saw another Tour Easy with two cages mounted on the handlebar risers, so I duplicated that idea on my own bike. I drilled two small holes in each handlebar riser and fixed the cages to the handlebar with small self-tapping screws. The bike is sitting on the Esge double-legged stand that I bought for my old hunker-bike in the early Eighties. On the rear rack is the prototype for the MP Aero Trunk, designed and constructed specifically for the recumbent, but also used to good effect on hunker-bikes (my own included). The panniers are a pair of very old Cycle Pro front panniers that I sewed into a wedge-shape at the bottom to avoid scraping on turns (at the cost of losing a little storage space inside).
