Much as I liked the idea of a basket being able to be unclipped and taken into the shops, I didn't like the idea of anyone else unclipping it when I was parked if I didn't take it.<BR/><BR/>I think front baskets are good, although a lot of them seemed too small for the sort of things I wanted to carry, like big art books.<BR/><BR/>But if I still had a small child sitting at the back of my bike (as Bumblebee used to), I'd probably be fine with a front basket.

That's the nice thing about autumn. The cool mornings soon warm up again. Usually.Mark Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504002779156297181noreply@blogger.com
