I was looking through some of the photos I took at the New Amsterdam Bike Show. One of them got me to reminiscing.
There was a time in my life when milk crates served as furniture, storage units, shelving--and bicycle luggage.
Milk crates have been attached to rear racks with zip ties, hose clamps, rope, bungee cords and old inner tubes. When I had a milk crate on my town/commuter bike, more years ago than I'll admit, I attached it with toe straps.
You can even use a milk crate to turn your bike into a tandem. Why didn't I think of that?
Whenever I see of milk crates, I think of Lego blocks. They are structured, and fit together, in much the same way,and come in the same colors. They are fun--and practical.
Remember: Milk crates are your friends!
