Hi, I just recently purchased a Linus Roadster Sport for commuting to and from work. I'm currently looking for the best way to transport my briefcase, clothes, etc. on it. I really like the idea of a wooden crate made for for the bike that I can just toss my bag into and strap it down and go. However, just watching people commute to work it seems many more use panniers. Are there downsides to going the crate route? My concern with the panniers is that I would hate for them to get stolen off the bike and they don't seem to hold as much as the crate would hold.
