Does any body have recommendations for a bag or such that can haul groceries home? I've been using doubled paper grocery bags from Whole Foods but they aren't...
In the UK most supermarkets have started selling shopping bags made form recycled material for this very purpose, they are of course re-usable to encourage...
... They most certainly do. It was ironic when the OP mentioned Whole Foods, as Whole Foods sells such re-usable bags, made from recycled plastic bottles,...
Fabric and plastic bags are fine when dealing with small to medium quantities or when driving the car. The problem with fabric is it collapses when I load it...
I just use a BOB trailer Dry Sak. I have 2 of them. each one is about 5800 cubic inches of volume they happen to fit an xtracycle quite well. any duffel bag...
I agree, none of the heavy reuseable cloth bags now offered at grocery stores and REI etc. that I have seen are high enough compared to the old paper bags. I...
My local IKEA has two sizes of bags: One is the giant blue bag, similar in size to the yellow ones you can borrow while shopping in the store, and the other is...
DIY idea. Take some of the taller fabric bags (or make your own) and make a "frame" for it so it won't collapse in use. Wire clothes hangers can easily be ...
I also havea hungry family of four that gets all their groceries via xtracycle :) We've had no problems with using the recycled fabric bags that have become so...
Two ideas: Those collapsable Chino bags. I keep two of them on the bike at all times. Light, simple, huge. Not stiff though. What I do is stand them up as best...
I also use the IKEA beach bags. these are not the very shallow useless blue bags... no, these are about 2 ft tall, 2 ft wide and pure awesome. We saw some...
I too use the X for all of our grocery runs. We use a different assortment of canvas bags and all we do is tie the handles together, this solves the spill/not...
Though for most grocery shopping, I use the canvas bags we have around, I have some Mountainsmith "Cubes" That are great for packing the X also. They are tall...
I carry a few "chico" fabric bags and previously used plastic bags in my handlebar bag's water bottle pocket. When I get to the bike, I load or re-load into...
Mountainsmith makes (made?) a series of "modular hauler" bags that might address your needs. These are essentially a set of individual (fabric) weatherproof...
There are lots of strong canvas totes on the market. Bruce Alan Wilson http://www.wvdemolay.org/ http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/Bruce_Alan_Wilson_2011 ...
... ~~~The BOB dry sack will hold a *TON* of groceries, and keep them dry. It's probably the best solution, and what I'm using in this photo...in the right...
I just picked up an early 90s Specialized Stumpjumper, which I hope will be a candidate for Xtracycle conversion. Can anyone provide some recommendations?...
Galen, Did you end up getting rid of your gear? I just picked up an old Stumpjumper and I'm looking to try out an Xtracycle setup on-the-cheap. If you're...

Best bags I have used are from Safeway or whole foods. They are thermal so keep items cold, they zip closed so nothing falling out and they fit nicely in the...
Ah, beersgood said what I was going to say after I figured out what Shawn's problem was. The fabric bags from the grocery don't have long enough handles to...
