The simplest front rack

Fixed Gear Gallery had a grocery-getter competition. One of the entries that caught my eye was this bike from Dennis Bean-Larson.  The main detail that struck me was the use of an old front fork as support for a front rack.  The platform is made from wood, and the rear supporting plank of wood is simply connected to the handlebars using a velcro strap.  More details here.
