Abstract
A pannier mounting mechanism for use on wheeled vehicles such as bicycles employs a plurality of hook members adapted to engage the upper portion of the carrier frame on a bicycle and a spring-loaded lower anchor which engages the lower portion of the carrier frame. When installed the springs are maintained in tension resulting in a generally downward force which insures that the hook members are maintained in engagement with the carrier frame despite any inertial forces resulting from jostling during transport.
