bent basket

say goodbye to your plastic pink basket and the bungee cords that hold down your stuff, there is nothing tacky or girly about this cool take on the bike basket designed by san francisco based designer faris elmasu. the water proof wood basket (more like a curved tray) uses 4 thick nylon straps to hold down anything from your books to farmers market goodies. simple design at brilliant work - now all we need is a new take on our rusted bike bell.
