Cargo Bike?
If the cargo is the right shape.
Today I ran an errand that required a little thought and a couple of bungie cords.
My daughter's high school soccer team raises money through sponsorships and my job was to install the sponsor's banner.
I've got a big pannier, but it isn't that big. I've got a rack on the back, but it isn't an extended-frame Xtra Cycle. Fortunately, the load was narrow enough to fit along the top tube without messing up my pedal stroke too bad. My knee would have probably had a hard time if this had been a long distance or if there were any uphills (some destinations are downhill all the way, and this is one of them).
Delivering this by bike was perfect.
More bike connections:
- The sponsor and Osteria/Doc Chey's owner Rich Chey rides with us on Sunday mornings.
- The sponsor and Atkins Park owner Warren Bruno rides with us on Sunday mornings and leads us on the Atkins Park Santa Ride.
- Should have gotten a picture, but it looked like several students rode their bikes to school today.
- Met a neighbor Tom out on a ride (he's retired) and he may join us Sunday mornings.

Now that's clever. Sometimes I need long strips of wood from HD and I never thought of that.
Very clever. Will have to remember this next time I need to deliver a full size map proof on a pretty day.
I might suggest testing out your load to make sure it works. In particular, the inside of my thigh was smacking the rolled up banner pretty good. Splinters would have been possible for a wood load and a map might pick up some folding creases.
But then, I'm carrying my winter weight right now and that extra layer of fat could be a factor ;).
