You don't need an expensive cargo bike to haul stuff! Add a milk crate to any bike!
Storage makes the bike more useful. Get groceries. Do errands. Haul heavy loads. Drive less, and do more by bike.
Milk crates and big baskets are the best solution :) They hold so much! There's no limit to the height of your pile. You can reach in while riding, or at a light. Attach decorations! It's cheap and easy!
Calling all cyclists with milk crates or big baskets! Or those who are crate-curious.
From the starting point, we'll head to Laurelhurst Park for milk-crate games and contests. Afterwards, we'll head to a grocery store (People's Coop or New Seasons), for a ~25 minute stop, and show off how many groceries you can carry. From there, you can either head home, or ride around downtown with me, ending at Lovejoy Fountain Park.
This will be a slow ride, paced for people learning to bicycle, and families with children. No one will be left behind. This allows time for socializing during the ride. We’ll take greenways and bike lanes, to minimize interactions with drivers. Because Portland’s bicycle network is incomplete, there may be short necessary portions of sharing larger roads, and we’ll stay together as a group for safety.
