What tool do I need to remove a screw that doesn't have a head?

I recently bought a new bike and tried to attach my rear rack onto it. I used too much torque and broke the head of the screw. The big issue is that the nut is recessed, built directly into the frame. I can't get the pliers to reach the screw deep enough to get a good grip on it. I know that there are tools that I can buy that will allow me to cut a hole into the top of the screw, allowing me to make a new screwhead so that I can remove it, but I can't remember what the name of the tools are.

Does anyone know what they are called?

Can a baby seat fit on a hybrid bike?

I am about to buy a new hybrid bike for commuting to replace my old mountain bike, but want to make sure I will be able to put a baby seat on it when my daughter is old enough. I have heard that these seats do not fit on mountain bikes because of the wider forks (I guess), and don't want to encounter the same problem on a hybrid. I would also like to get a bike with a rear rack and fenders, but need to know if they will get in the way when I try to put the baby seat on.

Also, if anyone has comments on the baby seat vs. trailer issue I'd appreciate them. I've heard trailers are safer, but I will be riding mostly on city streets and it seems like the trailers are too wide to fit comfortably on the side of the street with traffic passing by. I would rather have my daughter close to me on my bike than risk her getting clipped by a car in the trailer.

Rear red LED battery-powered cycling lights

Rear LED battery-powered lights on my e-Brompton electrical folding bike: Smart Polaris 3-LED (2x AAA) and Smart Polaris 5-LED (2x AAA), two different flashing modes. I also have a constant (ie non-blinking) dynamo-powered red LED light at the rack / mudguard / fender level (not shown in the video).

What should I look for when buying a bike?

I'll be buying my first bicycle soon. I will be riding it at least 12 miles a day, 5 days a week as my form of transportation to and from work. However, I'm sure there will be days I ride for much longer out of necessity or as a past-time hobby. I've looked at a million bikes on-line and I'm thinking a cyclocross bike fitted with fenders, a rear-rack, and maybe a light will be best suited for my purpose. What should I keep in mind while shopping for a bike at my local shop? I have 0 saved up, shall I wait till I have a little more? Oh yeah, I live in Ga and plan on riding it year-round.

How to Add a Milk Crate to a Bicycle

I created this video because although I've seen many bikes with milk crates, I've never seen any instructions on installing them. I developed this technique over the last 2 years, and although it is quite time consuming I believe it to be the best way to install a milk crate. Sorry about the audio in this video. Thanks for watching!
