Well the long cold dark days are here so I need some cheering up!...:twitchy:

I thought I'd start a thread about folders carrying silly big loads - whether running errands or on tour. If you have any pics to share in this vein throw 'em up here....:thumb:

To get the ball rolling.

Ok, since you ask... and I've only posted this picture in two different threads so far, I think it could use a bit more exposure :D

It's pretty sad, but I've sold enough bike stuff this year that I can't recall what was in the box. My guess is a bike frame/fork.

I don't know. With a box, I'd be worried about heel strike. Although I have heard that in Europe all boxes now are equipped with beveled edges to prevent such a problem.

The view's not great, but on the front rack is a 25 lb bag of oranges I bought from a corner vendor on my way home from the Christmas tree lot.

Happy Christmas!

Here is my downtube all loaded up for a tour and with my copilot on board. Also a view with it pulling my homemade trailer suitcase setup.90190
