You can also get basket net – they have them at Rivendell. My basket is a Wald, they come in a bunch of different sizes.

I also have a blog- abasketcase.wordpress.com, about cycling. If you could link, that would be great

Style with function! What could be better. I hate to admit it but while the transition to bike commuting has been largely about gas prices and exercise, it is fun to look good while saving money and time.

It’s not pretty but years of repairing “slightly damaged” employee sale leftovers back in the REI days means I know my way around an old Singer. Of course, the three year old pile of repairs next to the sewing machine shows I’m not so good at actually doing the work.

All you need is a nice rainproof cover (does Tim sew, too?) and you’re all set for the summer weather to come.

The little wicker jobbie can decorate something dainty like a Pashley.

Groet,
