I don't want to go the "rear rack w/panniers or folding baskets" route, and prefer to not mount a front basket.
Any suggestions?
Sounds like if you don't want to use a rack with panniers or baskets, your only choice is a cargo trailer (holds tons of groceries!) or a bigger backpack. You could probably get an xtracycle kit to pimp your cannondale too

What don't you like about rear racks?
