Claim 37:
38. A carrier assembly mountable to rails of a saddle of a bicycle, the carrier assembly comprising:
a mounting assembly adapted for attachment to at least one rail of the saddle to secure said mounting assembly thereto;
at least two payload supports joined to said mounting assembly, each of said at least two payload supports having a first side and a second side extending transversely to said first side, each of said respective first sides and said respective second sides defining a respective mounting structure for supporting a payload carrier attachment for carrying a payload as carried by a payload carrier attachment, each said mounting structure being defined as one of an elongated channel having a closed end and an elongated boss dimensioned to be received in said channel, each of said elongated channel and said elongated boss being shaped in cross-section, in a direction extending transversely to a direction of elongation of each of said elongated channel and said elongated boss, to form an interference fit therebetween permitting constrained longitudinal motion of said elongated boss within said elongated channel and preventing lateral movement of said elongated boss within said elongated channel; and
at least one payload carrier attachment adapted for carrying the payload, said at least one payload carrier attachment defining a mating mounting structure complementary to said mounting structure of said at least one payload support, said mating mounting structure being defined as another of said elongated channel and said elongated boss, said mating mounting structure being selectively mountable and demountable from each of said mounting structures in tool-free fashion by longitudinal sliding of said elongated boss relative to said elongated channel.
