I usually favor more old-school, vintage style bike baskets but this sleek number has a cool attribute – it pops-up.  Comes in handy when storing.  Designed to stash your purse, tote or any small bag; mount on either front or rear of bicycle. $75 (white, black or green).

There’s a larger pop-up that’s intended as an at-home utility basket or decorative container. Durable yet flexible, it stretches to suit your needs.  $65 (white, red or aqua).  Made in the USA of locally sourced materials – recycled content; recyclable; environmentally conscious finish.  It’s summer – let’s get out of those cars and onto those bikes…Shipping begins June 15 @ mioculture.com
