This reminds me of the days when I would carry 2 plastic grocery bags on my handle bars. I don't think I ever lost anything, but it was always more exciting than it needed to be. So nice to have added carrying capacity with a rack on the back. While I can carry decent loads on all my bikes, I should probably be looking to add something on the front of my Gary Fisher and maybe a rack on Harvey's back. I'll have to start looking.

Wild! How'd it taste? What's the point? Does it make it more intense? Kind of like Macha?
I carry my groceries on the handle bars, but I walk - the shop is only 300m from my house, so I just drop by on my way home in the evening. But I'll also get a second-hand rack for my mtb soon, and I'm quite looking forward to that.
On my old bike, I never installed a back rack. Now that I got on on my new one, I wonder why the heck I didn't install one, as it sure beats carrying big awkward stuff by hand!
Definitely to rack. Even better, to basket :)
Two of my regular riders have racks. If need be I use panniers on them. The other one has Wald baskets on the back and on the handlebars.
Definitely better, at least for me, than carrying a messenger bag or backpack.
