Dang that milk crate that I attached to my rear bicycle rack can carry a lot of stuff. Problem is I can't get on or off the the bike without extreme difficulty. How do you do it? I'm 6'-1' and cant throw a leg over this contraption. I can do it if I lean the bike on its side,but then all the stuff in the crate is about to roll out into the grocery store parking lot. How to you guy's do this? :bang:

Usually I step over the top tube then "pedal" myself onto the saddle when starting up. Maybe that'll work for you?

Same here. I learned to step over the top tube too since I started using my bike for carrying stuff and since I started touring.

Just keep a look out for the dork running after his groceries after he fell off his bicycle. Ha Ha
