Since the fender bender accident, I've been car-less, and have found that I can ride my bike all over town, and not only that, I LOVE my bike. Every year, I seem to forget how great my bike is over the winter, and then I get on it and marvel at how awesome it is. (It's a Specialized, women's style bike....26 inch wheels. Beyond that, I'm not sure what my bike is other than a sweet ride.)

Something that has made my riding experience even better is my new basket. I found the perfect basket, and now I'm ready for running small errands that require me to fetch things. I really love it. The basket pops off the frame and is a shopping basket with handle to take into the grocery store, hardware store, drugstore, rummage sales...I went rummaging today and was able to put my treasures in the basket and scoot along my way. I started to think of all the days I'd spent driving around rummages: start the car, turn off the car, start the car, turn off the car. Not to mention, I am very lucky to have a really great bike. It's super smooth and light. I feel like all I have to do is sit on it and it just floats me to where I want to go.

If a person is interested in "tricking out" their bike with storage, I'd highly recommend investigating the Wald line of products and baskets. Really well made in my opinion. This is the basket that I've got on my ride, and it's wonderful. Wald Bike Basket If I didn't have the tag along tandem attachment, I'd be going for some rear mounted baskets, or maybe panniers. Considering that I only have the one option, removable basket is the way to go. I have shocks on my front fork, so, I needed a basket that could mount to my comfort grip handle bars, steer clear of my break and gear cables, and I wanted something that would pop off for farmers markets and grocery shopping runs. This is a real winner.

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like....
