Reely? Turn my bike frame into a woven basket?

Anyone have one?

Looks pretty ridiculous to me, tbh. Looks pretty cumbersome and just like a big hassle. Although I was thinking it might be a decent low-cost alternative to panniers, especially in the sense that you wouldn't have to worry about theft as much with it, I guess.

Might be OK for carrying paintings, pizza (assuming you don't mind having all the cheese flow to the bottom) or other flat objects. For other things, not so good, unless the distance between your legs is abnormally great.

This is a pretty brilliant idea. I can think of several applications.

Why do stupid bike accessories always involve a loaf of french bread?

Can't wait to see what happens in a crosswind.

A loaf of french bread and a bottle of good wine make you seem urbane and sophisticated. Or so I'm told. On the other hand, "Why do stupid bike accessories always involve a loaf of french bread?" could be a good name for a song. (Mr. Presley: that's your cue...)
