dude, you should do it albatross style

eat them all at once, then at work you can barf some out on demand
when somone pecks your cheek


What ??? you wanted ideas ........

Don't forget to put the stale donuts in your spokes.

Communist! Blasphemer! Heretic!

A "baker's basket" like this one from Velo-Orange, should do the tick, or you could probably get something similar from IKEA or Pier-1 and mount it on your front rack. Remember to wear the appropriate bakes cap and put some flour stains on your clothes and you in business

Put the box in a shopping bag and slip the handle over the handlebars. Life is too short for any solution that is more complicated.

I've brought a couple hundred donut holes in their little cardboard containers in my panniers for my office before. Holes are much more resilient to bouncing around and being sideways than your garden variety Krispy Kreme Glazed.

If you have enough room in a backpack to put in donuts without forcing them, I would think they would transport OK. If you have to purchase them in one of those large flat boxes, then that is different.

I have carried to work two Bakers Square pies, in their rectangular boxes, in a backpack.

When I mentioned that just now, I was thinking of getting similar boxes for donuts, but now that I think further, how about bringing pie for breakfast? It's fruit.

The responses to this have been great. Zero Enigma, you've got me really thinking of building something.

My little folding bike with its small rear rack can't accommodate everything that has been mentioned but I think I can work out something really useful. There's time before my turn comes up so maybe I'll look into this.

In the meantime, keep the suggestions coming. Even if I can't use them, somebody else probably can.

Did someone say donuts?

How about put a basket on your handlebars on donut day?

And you can leave donuts for us over there ----->

I use a Topeak MTX basket, which clips right into my Explorer rack. It works great for tasks like these, picking up a few groceries, take out, etc.

In a pinch to carry schtuff without smashing it, I would strap a milk crate to the rack and surprise your co-workers!

Plexiglass is plastic. It doesn't shatter into sharp little pieces like safety glass. Nor does it it break into big pieces with sharp edges like plate glass. Besides, how often do you crash anyway?

I've put the box of dozen donuts into a backpack and they arrived OK. Not sure about two dozen though.

Good rear rack if you don't have one = ~$30
Filing crate from office depot = ~$5 (filing crate is better than milk crate as they are MUCH lighter)

I fit the crate to the rack using hoseclamps, easy on, easy off.

Even though this would not work for you, another option that gives more room is using a laundry basket. I bought one when I moved and forgot my one from home. I put bread, two boxes of cereal, and a box of granola bars in it. If the weight is not too much, you should not have to worry about weight distribution. Plus the basket gives more flat area, although you need to sit a little forward with it on.

Back pack. Careful stacking. I've done it before. Nice and easy on the turns

BAGELS are only very stale donuts that never got frosted.

If the donuts are individually wrapped, I'd think there are a number of ways you could bring them in - you'd have more flexibility in terms of the container's dimensions. Frosting is more durable in cold weather, so don't bring them in warm.

Maybe you could introduce your breakfast group to the joys of fruit (strawberries or a cut-up melon) for breakfast. Much easier to transport.

Get the plastic trays that bottled soft-drinks come in, bolt one to a rack. It's about the same size as the big flat doughnut boxes (haven't measure to see if they'll lay flat in it.)

I love donuts (but don't tell my wife!), but yeah, when it's my turn to bring the foodage, I switch to bagels. They're far more survivable. Let the drivers bring the donuts.

You have a group called the Breakfast Club? "You mess with the bull you get the horns."

I bring them in my tummy. Doughnuts are my kryptonite.

How come no one has suggest bringing doughnut holes (Dunkin Donuts Munchkins)? They have four or five types including jelly and creme filled. I can easily stick a couple bags of 25 each or more in my small rear panniers or backpack if I don't have to haul clothes that day.

Hahahah, that sounds like a great idea.

I just did it the other day. I have a cut down milk crate on the front and got a dozen at dunkin in half dozen boxes and they fit perfect with room to stack two or three more boxes.
