I usually post in the Fat Boys section but after reading a few posts here I'd thought I'd chime in. I don't have anything special, just a Specialized Crossroads 2006 comfort type bike. I hung a couple of folding baskets on the rear carrier. Matter of fact, I wasn't real happy with the way they mounted so i just used a lot of zip ties. Anyhow, just reading for now and riding on the trainer.

Zip ties: making a MacGyve out of just about anyone

Yep, they're pretty slick! The baskets themselves came with a few 'attachment points' but they really didn't fit. Zip ties hold everything in place securely. :)

Welcome.
Remember, utility cycling is not a competition to see who has the nicest bike or who can haul the most, it's all about the personal satisfaction of running errands without the limitations of a steel cage around you. We want some pictures of your bike/setup!
