no chance to get a pic, but i really wanted to get a look at how it was attached to the handlebar.
no rack in front. i'm too cripped up to get my leg over one on the back.
have seen 1 on either side of a rear rack, held on by p-clips. man, that was a wiiiiiiide bike
! not sure i could get a leg over that, either. fer sher it wouldn't fit a bus rack if another bike was already on! and don't eeeeeeeeeven consider asking the driver whether i could put it inside
! it wouldn't clear the door. way wider than a wheelchair.
have been considering a mixte...
Mixtes are good

Two crates on the rear rack: You could join the two together by something, like seat belts or that 1" webbing. I think that way you can just hang them on and the weight would keep them in place. maybe a small welcro in the front to keep them from sliding back.
What sort of surface do you normally ride on? If you do not deal with mud sand or deep snow you could look into a small wheeled bike, folder or "shopper" type. Low stepover, plenty space for luggage abowe the racks. Low center of gravity.
