I'm not sure how well it would work for you but I have a front rack that bolts to the head tube, I really like it. It doesn't turn with the bars, unlike something attached to the forks, so the steering is unaffected. Mine came from ebay, this is the same thing...

We've had 2 new bikes from Halfords over the years. My son's had the forks the wrong way round. My wife's were the right way round but the headset wasn't tightened. She fell off outside the shop, we wheeled it straight back in. How we laughed. The biks themselves were pretty good though.

The question wasn't originally addressed to you, but you chimed in. It was, as you well know, this: 'Do you wear a helmet when walking? If not, why not?' The point is that head injuries don't just happen on bicycles. If 'You never know' applies to riding a bike, why not to walking along the...

I don't believe you can't understand the point. I do believe you can't answer the question.

Do you wear a helmet when walking? If not, why not?
