Thanks for the pics. I think I'll bungee a big duffle to the back seat of mine (when I get it) using the same hook points.

IMHO, the lack of 'safe' bungee hooks in the rear is the one design shortcoming of this bike. Having the plastic tail section stick out where bungee cords are going to rub is the second flaw. I'll be using some clear plastic protector on mine, as you mentioned...

A flawed bike in the hand is worth 2 in the dreams.. I can't wait to get mine !
