Please tell me the rubber bands are an April Fools joke... I'm not so sure now.

Milk crate wouldn't be a bad idea for those times you need to carry something. Not having a car, I could find that useful, but I'd use something like this.

I've got a rear rack and with a bungee net I can get by fine most the time.

Right on! I can't tell you how many times I've thought about bungee cording a milk crate to my rear rack to complete the 70's look!

Sure beats a couple of bungee cords across the seat - lost more than a couple bottles of booze that way.

Man, I don't know how to break it to you guys, but the milk crate, the rubber bands, everything, it's all due to being April 1st. I had a good laugh, hope you all do too, but I figured I better nip this in the bud before people starting strapping milk crates to their bikes. ROFL

Immediately after closing my first post I realized what day it was haha... You definitely got me. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to strap a milk crate on my bike for a grocery run. Not having a car, that's not a bad idea!

Must've got you before you had your coffee. I've got another bike I use as a pack mule, but yeah, I can see a milk crate being handy on a bike. Just don't use rubber bands to hold it on!

You too huh. I used a milk crate on my SL-125 & SL-175 back in the day. My younger brothers learned to ride on the SL-125 in North Dakota & my pregnant wife learned on the SL-175 in Detroit MI. Same color as yours. Those were two great bikes.
