I am having a utility bike built for me.

Mostly, this bike will be used for commuting to work (it will have fenders and generator hub and lights fore and aft) and for runs to the grocery store.

The build includes custom racks. Can't decide on the racks, though.

Idea 1 — a porteur-style on the front. A standard rack on the back, for hooking on my Wald folding baskets.

Idea 2 — Why go with a porteur that I will need to strap everything down to? Why not have a porteur but with some sides, basket-like — something I could drop groceries or other goods in without strapping it down?

Idea 3 — F the folding Walds! They'll just cheese up my new bike. So, why not put a wide rack/basket back there, too?

Any ideas? Feedback?
