Have you considered one of those plastic milk crates and strap it to the
back of your bike if your bike has a rear rack? Those milk crates also can
be purchased that are collapsable but I would think either one would need
one of those stretchy cargo covers to keep things from bouncing out.

Here's a photo from the group where one of the riders has the milk crate
on their bike. Some people use screws and washers to attach them and
other use zip ties.

Another one with the crate on the front of the bike attached with zip ties.
