I think Sara needs one of these for Remy, don’t you?
I have been looking on-line for wicker bike baskets. Now that the weather is getting lovely I want to ride my bike on my shorter errands – like to the library (which I go to every Thursday) or to the grocery store when I just need a few things.
This, in an effort to be more green and to kind of trick myself into a little bit of exercise since it appears that willingly exercising just doesn’t come naturally to me.
Of course those big, ugly, rear mounted bike baskets would probably be more practical but if this trickery is going to work the basket is going to have to be charming.
In other happy news – the folks at Urban Outfitters, Inc. (Anthropologie) are opening a garden center type store called Terrain. Go check out Oh Joy! for pictures. We just have to hope it catches on and they open other centers around the country. Like here.
(Note: Picture above has nothing to do with Terrain. I just needed something to liven up the post so I threw in a picture of my old planter. But who knows – Terrain MIGHT carry stuff like this.)
Hope everyone is having a happy Wednesday. I need to go find a party hat since it’s the very last day of my birthday month.

Good luck with the basket.. I tried for wicker but I couldn’t find anything short enough not to rub the paint off my front fender. I have a wire basket (that I should line) and it is on a frame where you can pick the basket up off the frame and carry it into the store with some cool handles. I have a wonderful pink retro bike, but I don’t ride it near enough, no freaking gears and apparently anywhere I’m interested in going is uphill. (both coming and going, how is that?) Happy end of birthmonth!

Sara definitely needs a cute basket like that for Remy. Adorable! Enjoy the very last day of my birthday month – I like to celebrate the whole month, too, and mine begins tomorrow!

Here is the basket that you have pictured, in case that IS what you are looking for. Wicker Pet Bicycle Basket (Dark Rattan) (18″H x 13″W x 12″D)Ships from and sold by Stacks and Stacks and found on Amazon by “wicker bicycle basket”. Price: $80.99 which to me is costly enough you will feel you should go out often!
