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!

Great tutorial–exactly what I was looking for! I’m still in the process of finding a decent milk crate, though. Seems like the old file crate I had isn’t as handy, since it has much larger holes on the bottom/sides.

I’m really glad you found the tutorial useful! While I was recording it, I kept second guessing myself whether it was worth making a video or not. I wouldn’t be too concerned with the size of the holes in the crate, unless you are planning to put something really small in there. You’ll find that that larger holes are better for attaching bungy cords, if you ever need to strap something down.

@terrakazama I just reread your comment and noticed that you ‘file crate’. I thought you were just talking about an older style milk crate, not something different.
I would definitely recommend using an actual milk crate because they are a standard size, and you can stack them as many high as you need!
