Our custom Mælkekasse is handcrafted by Jared Madsen and inspired by his father and uncle, Even and Dan, and their Danish delivery bikes from the 1940s.
As young boys, they delivered groceries and supplies between Aalborg and surrounding towns. Their grandfather owned a dairy farm called ENKILDEGAARD, where old milk canisters were recently discovered—sparking the idea for this beautiful, front-rack crate.
The Mælkekasse (milk cream crate) is thoughtfully designed and hand-built by Jared in the MADSEN shop using upcycled wood. It’s custom-tooled to fit your front rack perfectly.
Finally, a way to carry even more cargo on your bucket bike. Easily removable and endlessly useful—it’s your grocery crate, apple box, or neighborhood mail carrier. And it attaches securely to the front rack for a smooth ride home.

The crate is a perfect accessory for our bike. It's so easy to throw everything in and go, it's really secure and can be taken off and put back on super simply. A great addition to our entire Madsen set up which we love.

So glad you love your new crate, Casey! We appreciate the review!
United StatesLove my Crate
The crate is super handy! I have had a metal crate zip ties to the front of my bike for the last three years and it worked fine but I LOVE my new wooden crate. It is so easy to take on and off. We actually were just traveling by bike and I had the crate packed full then just popped it off the bike and carried it right inside. When it was time to leave again I packed it up and brought it right back out, two quick straps later and we were ready to go. Of course having my logo on their makes me even more happy. And now I need to fill it up with badges! Smitty has ridden in it too and he approves!

Thanks for the review Maddy! We really appreciate you in our community and love seeing your awesome dog posts! Cheers to many more bucket bike adventures ahead - and now with a full bucket AND crate!
United StatesWorth it!!
The extra storage is amazing especially with kids in the back! Super sturdy and very easy to take on and off if needed.
United StatesAn exceptional bike crate
Y’all. This crate is so well thought out and well made. I actually bought it for the front rack of my Dutch bike (I covet a Madsen but my littles are now bigs!). The attachment system is easy, secure, and truly ingenious. The metal reinforcement on the corners also means that when my bike tumbled sideways the crate didn’t so much as crack. It is also beautiful and classic looking. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a bike crate, front or back. I’ve truly never seen a better one.
