Baskets and bags (you know I want to say "oh, my")

We rode to Hy-Vee last night to grab things for dinner, and foolishly didn't have bikes that were good to carry anything: No racks or baskets or trailers or whatever.

It doesn't take much to find a basket that will fit most bikes, just check the non-box hardware stores or even places like Target or WalMart.

Combined with the "greenbag" bags everyone is selling for about a dollar these days, you can get stuff home from the store in a pretty painless way, and won't find yourself trying to keep green beans from getting stuck in your front wheel.

CarFreeDays has a good rundown of some basket options. Email us if you want more info than this.
