I don't care if people notice that I've ridden my bike... It can be a sign of life, or environmental choices, and have nothing to do with poverty or DUI.

I've looked at those moped boxes before. I probably won't add one to my rack, but it should work.

A few additional thoughts:

Ortlieb Roll Top Panniers should be 100% waterproof. Not necessarily lockable, but could be good for carrying dry stuff too and from work.



I use trailers a lot for groceries and store runs. I mostly use an open top ex kiddie trailer. However, I've been thinking about my Bike Friday trailer.


I'm going to try making a similar one with a slightly larger suitcase, and flat-free tires. Hopefully ready shortly.

Another option for trailers are various storage boxes, but finding good sturdy ones cheaply seems to be a problem.

Oh, for rack boxes, Harbor Freight also has Pelican Style waterproof boxes. No lock, but provisions for a padlock.

The boxes regularly go on sale. Find a coupon.

$29.99 with the coupon.
