Hello! I am a very new bike rider when it comes to using it as my main source of commuting.
I have totally replaced my car with my bike after my 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe kicked the bucket 🙁
While I adore biking and am so glad I got into this, I realized how much JUNK I carry with me daily.
I am looking to get a front basket and a back rack for my Liv Flourish 5, Siobhan, but I was wondering if there was a way to do panniers AND a back basket.
I am planning on using my bike to carry my busking materials as well including my amp. I’ll need a basket to carry my amp but I don’t want to have to take my pannier bags on and off every time. Plus, having the extra storage with both would be ideal.
I also want to make sure I am picking the best basket for her. She had break wires in front of the handlebars and I’m afraid to screw with them. I think I messed them up last time I was riding by putting a bag around her handle bars and I don’t want to mess them up anymore.
If anyone has advice for accessories I should get please let me know. She only has a water bottle holder (that I hate), a phone holder (that I hate) and a little bell pepper bell (that I love). Any advice is welcome! I’m happy to be a part of the community!
Picture of a really frustrating sidewalk hole I came across so this doesn’t get lost. Riding my bike has made me hate my local infrastructure more and more.
