Wire Basket for my Brompton
I love my Brompton luggage, but sometimes its full service, wind-sail nature is too much. So I picked up a wire basket.
I attached it to my modded S frame, using black cable ties.
Then I headed off to the grocery store. Empty, the basket was hardly noticeable; at least, I didn’t notice it.
I stuffed the purchased goods into a nylon shopping bag I always keep in Bail’s under-seat bag, and rode back. No wind-sale effect, even with the goods packed up.
I’m going to like this basket for short errands.
As I was unfolding Basil, preparing to leave the grocery, a fantastically-well-dressed femme d’un certain age zipped past me, smiled hugely, and said “You look so sharp!” I went home and took a picture of my garb. It’s not every day one is so handsomely complimented while wearing a watermelon helmet!
Love the basket and ofcourse you’ve also just had a little of what I call “The Brompton Effect” or in my case “The Bumble B Effect!”
Definitely, Andy — though my helmet’s no kind of match for The Legend in his full glory!
Truth be told, it is a “stop and gawk” set up…
Yeah, I kind of think you’re right, Andrew. That helmet may have been a bridge too far. But, seriously, how could I resist? It’s Basil’s colors!
