cool thread. I usually post in the commuter forum and never noticed there was a Utility Forum. My bike, which is fairly utilitarian, is now, as of today, even more so.
I added a Nashbar front rack to the bike ($12), which allows me to attach a front basket (and remove it easily and still have a rack on the front if needed).
Today it's utility purpose was to move me out of my office for the summer. (Due to construction). I loaded the rear milk crate to capacity and then the front basket. A total of about 40 lbs of stuff and then rode home- 10 miles +. Then had to ride back downtown for another gig tonight. Then rode home and hit the grocery store on the way back loaded front and rear again. 40 miles of commuting and a grand total of about 80 lbs of stuff hauled.
I was calling my bike "Uttila The Bike" tonight I was so happy with it.
