Alternatives to the PorterRack
If you have an older Xtracycle with a quick release front fork and your Xtracycle does not have PorterRack mounts, read on. There are still some good options for you to carry cargo up front.
Wald baskets ($45 - $80, online or local bike shop)
Wald has been making their ubiquitous light weight front baskets in the US since 1905. These are great for bringing home left overs, carrying library books, hauling your small pup - you name it, they can likely handle it. 
Origin8 Rush Messenger Front Flat Rack (~$82, online or local bike shop)
While heavier, that added weight comes with the benefit of having a 55 lbs. weight limit. This beefy rack is great for adding cargo capacity up front.
The Origin8 Rush Messenger Front Basket Rack is also compatible. (~$145, online or local bike shop)
