Home-made alternative to bungees
Hey HUBB, I made this strap because I hate bungees so much and I'm bikeless until later this week so boredom got the better of me.
I used to have Andy Strapz and they were really good but I don't want to pay for DHL shipping to Bolivia then deal with customs so I made these. The dual locks are heaps stronger than velcro too, I use them for all sorts of stuff.

As mentioned, I'm bikeless and had to test them on the chair.... they seem to be really strong though.
What you need:
Used / blown inner tube
3M Dual locks
Puncture kit
Instructions (very simple):
1) Cut a strip from the inner tube then wash it, I washed it with soapy water then some bathroom spray as the soapy water wasn't good enough
2) Roughen the ends & apply rubber cement and let it dry for 5 minutes (just like putting on a patch when repairing a puncture)
3) Peel the backing off the dual locks and apply them to the ends of the inner tube. I do this in two places for added strength.
4) Put some weight on them and let them dry overnight
