Love this story, Leah :) It will come as no surprise to you that I vote that
you get a front rack for the Wald basket and for the rear get a fabulous
saddlesack! He’ll love it!

It may look like a hassle at first for acquiring the necessary stuff and

I once tried it with a trailer and my 40ish-pound dog, and she jumped out of it
within the first 20 feet. I gave up after a couple more tires. Goes without

with traffic.

The great thing about bike baskets is their versatility, and with a cargo net,
you don’t have to use a basket specific bag. You can switch them out depending
on load, weather... Love'em all bags!

I always keep fenders on. But even so, I still squirt a bottle of water on

winters so far,

stitching, outstanding materials. Beautiful! Worth the price and more!
