Pizza by bicycle : no fear
You're leaving your favorite pizzeria where you've just placed an order for an evening out with friends... but you're on your bike, and you've got several pizzas to carry. No XXL insulated bag, no rack on the back of the bike...No panic!With the Bakkie bags, you've already got everything you need on hand to handle the pizza mission with style (and stability).
Step 1: prepare your pannier before picking up the pizzas
⏱️ Before even entering the pizzeria, take a few seconds to prepare your Bakkie. It's more convenient than juggling boxes on the sidewalk.
-
Undo the vertical straps on the sides of the pannier to give it more width.
-
Unclip the rear vertical strap
-
Take the 3 securing straps out of their pockets : you're going to need them
Step 2: tie the pizzas together with the large strap
-
Take the longer strap (red stitching).
-
Wrap it around your stack of pizzas to make a compact block.
-
If you have more boxes than expected, extend the red strap with the small green strap. It hooks on easily to create a custom length.
-
Place this strap in the axis of the bike to prevent it collapsing backwards.
Step 3: lay the pizzas flat in the Bakkie
Then slide the stack flat into the bag.
Bakkie bags are designed with this in mind: they can accommodate several large pizzas without the need for tilting.
Step 4: secure everything to prevent slipping
-
Reclip the rear vertical strap to flatten the pizzas against the back of the pannier.
-
Use a strap at the back to lock the stack and prevent it from moving backwards during the journey.
And there you have it: your pizzas are securely held, stable, and above all horizontal (out of respect for the mozzarella).
Bonus: it also works for pies, cakes and meal trays 🥧🎂
This method isn't just for pizzas!
Bakkie bags fit everything that needs to stay nice and flat: home-made pies, cakes, catering trays... Zen-like journeys are yours, even with delicate cargo. Just avoid the curb jumps, stair descents and other stopies 😉
To sum up: the bicycle pizza method in 4 simple steps
-
Prepare your pannier: widen, unclip, take out the straps.
-
Tie the pizzas together with the large red strap (and the green one if necessary).
-
Place them flat in the bag.
-
Fasten together with the back strap to prevent movement.
No need for special accessories. Everything is already integrated into your Bakkie pannier.
And that's the real freedom of everyday cycling 🚲🍕🗽
