I have a trunk bag that has a 2nd zipper like a suitcase so it can expand upward for larger cargo items. Also the sides open and drop down into large pannier bags for bigger items.

I bought an old kids trailer for 20€. Cut of most of the structure and transformed it into a cargo carrier. It can also be converted into a table for use at parties and protests, haha.
I can also recommend these click-systems that come with certain racks. Got some stackable Euroboxes to mount on those.

Do not carry grocery bags from your handlebars. I did that when I was a teenager and now I have bridgework where my upper front teeth once were.

Misread the byline as "Max Mounter" and thought that's rather on the nose

This website is a fantastic resource I'll absolutely be sending people ask questions like these, no more lengthy explanations. Thank you for sharing!

I have moved twice by a bike & trailer, although both times the distance was just a couple blocks. The first time I moved all my stuff (except bed) to another flat and the second time we moved our bike shop to another location, for some heavier items we used a car. Also I've carried furniture on a bike, one time a pretty hefty tv table on the rack (with another person walking by and balancing it). I find it amusing that it's possible to carry a whole table on a bike but not in a (regular) car! :D

Really stoked about this trailer for going between bike and bus with cargo

Useful useful! I admit I early on bought saddlebags and have a backpack I'll take when I go grocery shopping on my bike, when I had a grocery store at least.
