An arrangement for mounting panniers on the rear carrier rack of cycle vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles, including an elongated rod permanently attached to each pannier encased within a pouch extending across the upper edge of the pannier, the rod adapted to be slidably received within a channel section, either formed in a track section attached to existing bicycle carrier racks or formed integrally in a horizontal platform of specially designed carrier racks incorporating the mounting arrangement components. A pair of snaps are carried by a pannier flap to secure and position the pannier, fore and aft, against shifting movement with respect to the channel section, with the lower end secured by means of a webbing loop mating with a wire form which is bolted to a portion of the carrier rack support and which has a rear-projecting section. The specially designed rear carrier rack includes a horizontal platform having the channel sections integrally formed therein with a plurality of struts arranged to provide a rigid support of the horizontal platform. The rear carrier rack also features an arrangement for providing an adjustment in the length of the horizontal platform, so as to be readily installed on cycle vehicles of various frame sizes and configurations.
