An attachment system for mounting a pannier on a bicycle carrier rack, the pannier being of a type having a substantially rigid back frame component providing two attachment points in the upper portion thereof and the rack being of a type having two longitudinally spaced-apart upper mounting points, comprises first and second hooks fastened to the respective attachment points of the pannier back frame component and adapted to be hooked over the respective two upper mounting points on the rack. An over-center lever is attached to the pannier back frame to pivot about a pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the back frame and includes a first surface thereon engageable with the underside of a rack member in a locked position of the lever, said surface being spaced apart from the pivot axis a distance slightly greater than a line of shortest distance between said rack member and the pivot axis, whereby the locked position of the lever is over center with respect to said shortest distance line. The lever further includes a second surface engageable with either a portion of the pannier back frame or the upper surface of a rack member when the lever is in the locked position and prevents the lever from moving beyond the over-center locked position in a direction away from the shortest distance line.
