Seat Post Sniffles Solved - Enter the Bikerchief
The packmule recently shared a tree parking spot with the fellow traveller riding this bike. Mismatched seatpost diameter to your tubing? No problem!

Non omnino gravis
This is a spectacular exhibition of if it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid. See also: necessity is the mother of invention

The whole rig appears to be a brilliant example of dumpster diving, zero budget engineering. I'm definitely not in favor of making fun of it.

Cool fix. Just need to trim it for aesthetics. 
BTW, that's the largest diameter dork disc I've ever seen.

when the tolerance is really bad, a comforter or a quilt is the next stage in resolution.

I once hung a bag off my handlebars while riding.
I WON"T do that again. Lots of pain, embarrassment, and money spent after the bag got caught in the spokes.

Send it in to GCN for the "bodge/hack" competition.
As a pre-teen, I built a bike out of bikes/parts people put out for the weekly "big trash" collection. My source of money was as a paperboy, so I ended up with a 10 speed frame turned into a fixed gear bike with butterfly handlebars to hold the bag that held the 100 papers I delivered each day. My father helped me put on a center-stand-style kickstand that came from some min-bike motorcycle he found - that was the only way to keep the bike upright with all those papers on it.
That bike last me until I started to drive and I loaned it to a younger kid - who within days rode it off a pier on a dare and couldn't find it! I imagine it made a nice home for mussels and/or oysters in the Woodcleft Canal off of Freeport, NY...
