I bike for everything I do in town and love this basket. It's a conversation starter and really good looking. Only problem: the holes are pretty large ... I can't tell you how many avocados I've send bounding along the road riding home from the store, and somewhere on the streets of Sonoma is a ball of mozzarella cheese probably smushed by the car that came after me. The solution: tortillas and other flat things around the outside and then no worries!
