I only carry a sarnie box, waterproofs, glasses and phone, I have a rack on the bike and just use a bag.

I haven't voted as you can only select one option and you haven't put baskets on the list!

On my usual bike I have a pair of Basil panniers and a wald basket left permanently in place which I just chuck whatever I'm carrying into.

At the minute I'm using my ebike (whilst recovering from an injured knee) so using my Basil shoulder bag/pannier, click fix basket and a shopping pannier which need to be removed if parked up in public

I also have a trailer - a converted single child trailer which has been used to lug big stuff. It's about to be converted into a dog trailer as my gorgeous labrador has developed arthritis and is getting a bit too old to trot along side.

I do that a lot too - I use a small bungee cargo net which lives on my bike - can tuck the newspaper in when I go up to the shop, or a coat rolled up, or a few veggies in a bag. It even holds my D-lock if I can't fit it anywhere else.

I use a messanger bag that I carry on a Monday morning with my shirts, trousers etc for the 4 days I work. Then bring them all home in the same bag on a Thursday evening. The remaining 6 rides I get to ride free of a bag of burden.

Does this count as a basket?

And that, in essence, is my plan!

Boys can have baskets, so long as they're manly.

No flowers then?

No, you should attach a garland of spanners or something similar.

I have a couple of clip on saddle bags. Size depends on how much I need to carry. Hopefully as little as possible.

This picture is a couple of years old now but I'm still using the same setup.
