80%-90% of the time, I don't need my rear rack/rear basket (or the added weight it brings), so I don't have it attached. On those rare occasions when I need to make a shopping trip or want to take my dog to the park, I don't want to go to the hassle of screwing in the rack for that one errand and then removing it.
Are there any quick release screws or bolts I can use to make this task faster or easier to accomplish? (Can't seem to find useful Google search terms for this)
I'm not interested in buying a new rack; I want to find a way to make my current setup work for me.
In order to use what you have you have two basic choices.....
Build up a super cheap beater bike that you leave the rack on all the time.
-or-
find and buy a used kids trailer to convert to hauling duties.
