We live about 15 minutes walk from a shopping centre and a decent Sunday market, which is really handy. However sometimes 15 minutes seems too long but it's not worth jumping in the car for. If only there was an easy way to quickly get down to the shops and still be able to carry things back.....
The basket's got a quick-release catch so you can take it into the shops with you, and you don;t get any odd looks at all...
The bike is still set up as a singlespeed with 74" gearing so it's a bit of a struggle getting back up the hill, but Liz is already developing 'singlespeed smugness' & bragging about overtaking someone on a geared bike so I think I'll leave it as it is for now.
I took it for a test run and although it bounces alarmingly over bumps it seems to hold the weight of life's essentials OK...

You need a basket net! I can't live without one. They are also useful for strapping stuff on top of a rack.
