I have also seen men in their thirties/forties with these.

You could get exercise and have lovely wicker baskets on either side of your rear wheel, and you'd never run the risk of being lumped in with the 80-year-old babushkas. (And if the hills are steep and your load heavy, you can always walk the bike.)<br /><br />The bag-on-wheels is cute, though. Much better than the folding wire wheeled basket I lugged over buckled sidewalks in the icy wind of a Chicago winter in my twenties and thirties (and all bundled up and hunched over against the cold, I probably was mistaken for an 80-year-old woman now and again). <br /><br />I don't know what UK students do, but students here in the U.S. often now pull wheeled backpacks--better than hauling all those heavy textbooks on their backs, as we used to.

However in Bx I had a big supermarket 4 minutes walk away - too near to use the car, but too far for heavy shopping. So I bought a shopping trolley - quite wonderful. My children refused to be seen in the street with me and when they shopped, rolled their eyes at me when I suggested they took the trolley ... when I left Bx they were fighting as to who would 'inherit' it!<br />In France I found one that was actually a large wicker basket with a sort of walking stick wooden handle - très chic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-91320679229391644542010-11-01T15:47:48.978+00:002010-11-01T15:47:48.978+00:00There's definitely a gap in the market for a &...There's definitely a gap in the market for a "chic" version of these.
