Is there a better place for bicycling shitposts?

Behold, the affordable and flexible (literally) cargo solution! The avocado cardboard produce box from Costco!

It holds multiple kilograms, while stationary!

The cardboard cargo solution loaded with two large plastic jars, a package of bathroom tissue, and a skateboard

I've been working on setting up storage for a new bike. The MIK adapter plate I'm planning to use for mounting arrived before the basket I plan to attach to it. In the interest of getting some kind of storage on there, but mostly because I wanted to tinker with the adapter plate, I grabbed the first cargo-shaped thing that came to hand.

MIK adapter plate bolted to the bottom of the cardboard box

I haven't had time to try ride testing this setup because the proper basket did actually just arrive.

That'll probably perform well until after the first good rain

A lick of the right type of paint could fix that

I'd be tempted to fiberglass over it
