 It's not as large as a milk crate, but I'm pretty happy with my Wald
#582 folding metal basket, that attaches to a rear rack. It folds
down to about an inch, when not needed. Available at many
online bike places ... even Amazon has them: http://tinyurl.com/­4r7lx

I used one of those for years on a city bike. They're great. You can clamp
them on to make em hard to steal, and they fit a paper grocery bag
perfectly.

If the description is accurate, I stand corrected! Sure look like the
cheap ones my Target sells, though.

 I commuted by bike for most of my Jr.High (secondary school) and all of
my high school days, and any tech/trade school I took. Unless you have a
lot of books (do they still use those in school these days?), a simple
knapsack strapped to the rack is usually sufficient. When you get to
school, just unstrap it and throw it on your back and off you go.

If you have to carry more, than a cardboard box ("milk crate") strapped
to the rack will work fine. For a LOT of stuff, use panniers. Too much
weight on the rack could destabilize the bike.

I've bought a few things at the Container Store. All have
either broken ($88 kitchen trash can my wife wanted, shoe rack
for hall) or are nonfunctional (what good is a "designer"
bathroom plunger that looks really cool but doesn't actually
clear clogs?). Perhaps it's just bad luck on my part, but I
wouldn't trust their catalog description. In fairness, I'm
not at all familiar with these crates -- if you are, I defer
to your opinion.
