I LOVE my milk crate! And it’s so funny because it was suggested to me and I was sort of meh, but now that I’ve been using it for a year I’m obsessed. Practical, large, bright…what’s not to love??

And here it is hauling two large boxes of diapers…easily! It’s awesome.I LOVE my milk crate! And it’s so funny because it was suggested to me and I was sort of meh, but now that I’ve been using it for a year I’m obsessed. Practical, large, bright…what’s not to love??
I thought the rectangle size would be too big, but it’s perfect for hauling stuff. And I honestly never really notice it while riding. Sometimes can be a bit in the way while parking, but not a big deal. It also has the added benefit of being great for visibility AND making my bike “less cute” so it’s less of a target for thieves…maybe?
I got it here and just zip tied it to the front Aventon rack.

You know that’s an interesting question…I think it really varies area by area. On the whole I would say “not great” (very similar to most average US cities), but in the last year near me two really great bike lanes have gone in…so slowly there is improvement. Our mayor is a biker, so that brings hope that more change is to come!
Glad to hear there are places where it's pretty good and that it's improving! That does seem to be the case in more cities now - plenty of work needed but pretty solid in spots.
Yes exactly! It’s workable if you can find a little bikeable island! Better than nothing. Hoping to get my neighbors intrigued too to help show demand!
Oh my gosh too fun! We got the Abound as our “test case” to see if we would use it enough. And thankfully our test worked out brilliantly! Excited to have two bikes now- previously utilized the e-bike rental station near us for the second, but will be nice to just get up and go! Did you get your abound in the same way?
We got the Abound after I bought my own ebike for riding around and running errands by myself. The Abound seemed perfect for growing from a one to two-child family, but we eventually decided we wanted something more versatile. Also, and especially if we end up having a third kid, the car seat adapter is going to give us another year or two when we can really ride together as a family.
