Yeah, but I wouldn't want to take it off the rack and drag it with me to the office. I'd want the option to leave it on the bike. Because of this requirement, I'd have to be able to easily lock the thing down when needed.
Even if I went to a grocery store, I wouldn't want to be dragging this thing behind me. I'd rather get my groceries placed in my reusable bag at checkout and then place the bag in the locked down tote.
I might use the toting function at a flea market, I guess. What I like about the tote is that it's a milk crate that uses the MDX system with no need for zip ties, bungee cords, etc. That's what makes it really tempting to me.
