This morning when I dragged myself downstairs for my birthday cup of coffee, I was surprised to find a new set of wheels.
Yay, a new bike to replace the one I’ve had since my 18th birthday some XX years ago today. That old Scwhinn mountain bike held up like a dream.
But I have to say, I’m already in love with my Raleigh Detour 4.5. That iFarmer is a keeper for sure.
I can’t wait to ride it to the Farmers Market on Saturdays. To do that though, I’ll need a basket.
Here’s what I like so far.
From Tahoe Mountain Sports:

From Design House Stockholm, the Carrie:
And this rattan cutie from the Basket Lady:

The Longaberger bicycle basket is retired, but I could get lucky on eBay.
But…if I want to go low end, child nostalgic, I’d definitely go for this (only $6.44 on Amazon.com):
For 10 bucks more I could get the coordinating spoke beads and handle bar streamers!
You know me and baskets!The first and second ones get my vote!To bad we don’t have Lois Carson’s old bicycle basket.:)Ahh… the good ole’ days.
