Saturday morning ride to the farmers market, picnic in the park or simply moving lots of ballast across town, bicycle crates are a great and good looking alternative to panniers when carrying heavy stuff by bike. Here are some of our favorite bicycle crates and a manual on how to turn a vintage wooden box into an upcycled bicycle crate.
Really love the wooden Bates Crates with cup holder and leather straps to carry a yoga mat. (Photo credit: Jonathan Maus / BikePotland)
