I was wondering if I might be able to adapt some pannier brackets or something or if anyone else had done so.

RAM make any number of clamps, arms and adapters, including a base that will screw into the bottom of your camera - I'd tend to use one of those (on the handlebars for example - similar height to a tripod anyway) rather than carry a large tripod?
Obviously you'll need to get your bike pretty close to where you want to photograph... but failing that, you can get a Gorillapod for DSLRs, or simply prop it up (using your gloves x) and use the self-timer for long exposure shots?
