[RBW] Re: Quick Small Load Carrying

[Benz Ouyang, Sunnyvale, CA]

I don't like "meandering" loads, so if the bike doesn't have a rack, I'll 
be a mule, with my XL Ortlieb messenger/backpack 
,
 
even though I don't like riding with backpacks much (sweaty back syndrome). 
XL Ortlieb backpacks can swallow quite a bit of stuff, if you take the time 
to pack them. Let's just say I've been occasionally surprised by how heavy 
the backpack turned out after a trip to the grocery store.

Paul, I frequently stop at the Aldi near Huffines park right there on my 
way home at the end of a ride.  I have a Basket 90% of the time and a large 
basket bag, but I have done the two bag balance before especially when I 
was a young scud living in Austin with a minimum wage job. I used to have 
30gal. barrel I put all my laundry in and I would balance it on the top of 
the handlebars supporting it with one hand steering with the other. worked 
surprisingly well!
Most of my two wheeled grocery runs are with an Ebike these days and it has 
a large bucket on the bag that will comfortably fit two grocery bags and a 
bin on the front that holds~ 1 more bag.  Generally that's enough
