Have to get a bike box to post office at 9. It's half a mile and will not fit in car. Any ideas?

bungy it to the side of a bike, resting on a pedal.
push bike from the other side.

Ride home.

Make a shoulder strap out of a loop of gaffer tape fixed to the box ends. Should be easily enough sorted and strong enough to carry a box for a bit.

Just how tiny is your car?
Did you try folding the back seats down?

You could always just rope it to the roof?

I drive an rx8. Am now outside post office with 5 minutes to spare after balancing on pedal and walking the lot down. Worked a treat. Held the weight forward with left hand on bars. 🙂
