Nice carrier!

Well built carrier; I expect it will last for many years. My only quibble is the cheap-looking branded sticker stuck to the top, which is easy enough to pull off but required some elbow grease to remove the residue.

Thanks so much for sharing. As you might imagine, many of the suppliers we work with include removable branding on their products. We apologize if they were a bit aggressive with their use of glue to attach their packaging. -Ryan Zagata

I like the city bike…I like sitting upright and after many yrs out of the saddle this is working great for me. 😊
