I really seem to be obsessed with carrying things on wood on bicycles these days.
Here’s another design for a bike-mounted rack, called the Bent Basket. Thick nylon straps are removable and interchangeable and the base looks like a skateboard design gone wrong. I like it, although those straps could really wreck havoc on fresh strawberries (my girlfriend and I are having a heck of time getting strawberries and raspberries home on our bikes without the end result looking like a CSI crime scene).
More info from the Bent Basket site:
Each bent basket is handmade from bent wood, an aluminum frame and stretchy nylon straps.
Carry area is 16”L x 12.5W
Designed for 700c road bike
Maximum weight: 12 pack of beer

CSI special effects – so easy to do. :)
I love Faris Elmasu’s takes, he really thinks outside the box… :)
A solution to the delicates problem might be a slight re-design; slightly higher bent up sides and a set of slots near the top of the sides as well as at the bottom, with another set of wide straps, might allow one to suspend objects!
