A
bicycle basket carries is for carrying, usually light, cargo on a
bicycle. They are usually used for light
shopping duties such as going on daily visits to the shops for fresh bread or milk. Baskets are often mounted on the
handlebars and made of traditional
basket weaving materials such as
wicker and
cane or even woven plastic that merely looks like wicker or cane. They can also be made of other materials such as metal mesh.
