However, I often bike with larger loads - cases of beer, etc :) - and do a combination of strapping to my rear rack and putting in my front basket. A front basket mounted to the frame or fork is best for heavier loads. Some bikes are better for this type of handling (my Dutch bike, for sure) but anything is better than hanging bags on the handlebars! Sometimes if I have a lot I'll hang a canvas bag over my shoulder, but never on my handlebars. Luckily, I live only two blocks from the grocery store and usually walk.

I don't think any of the reusables they give away at the grocery have that guarantee. <br/><br/>What about a tricycle?<br/><br/><a HREF="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/40/84076652_528ea57392.jpg?v=0" REL="nofollow">http://farm1.static.flickr.com/40/84076652_528ea57392.jpg?v=0</a> Sweet racks Kirk.
