I just remembered one more option. Someone on this forum, maybe Staehpj1 had suggested a small rack that was designed to mount on a front fork that had canti brake posts made by Nashbar, he suggested you could mount that on back if you had canti posts to support a bag up off the tire.

Sunlight also made those racks. But since no new bikes have canti posts any more, not sure if the racks are still made.

If your bike has those, that may work for you.
