I recently purchased a Verve 2. I originally wanted a cruiser/comfort bike But the bike shop said I wouldn't be able to keep up with my husband and my son on their giant escapes. I have a vision of how I want to fix my bike and I really want a milk crate instead of a pannier. I will show you my vision bike and I will show you a milk crate instead of the panda bag in the other picture. My problem is I have a really cool looking wooden crate, vintage looking, but I don't know how to attach it to my bike rack in a way that I could put it on and take it off when I want. And probably won't want it there certain times. I prefer not to buy from the companies that sell you the crate and the attachment bracket because they're over $100. I also don't want something like zip ties or bungee cords. Can anybody help me with some type of mechanical idea please?
