As much as I love to bike around town, my bicycle is always in conflict with my home. There's never a good place to stash it, unless you have one of these. I've had two bikes stolen from my own backyard, and even when I've had a garage to store it safely, it always falls over.
Then, there's the issue of clunky accessories. A big old wire or wicker basket is just not practical for me, it takes up too much space in my digs and makes riding uneasy. So, I was delighted to come across the Hambone Designs Top Tube Velo Pocket ($45), a slim place to stash all your cargo while you're riding that snaps easily to your bike frame. It doesn't solve all my problems, but it's a start. And, its chic Amy Butler fabric makes it easy to match my bike to my decor!

Or you could just wear a backpack. That would probably chafe the legs a bit.
1Neat idea.
2I have one of these and there is actually enough clearance when you're riding a bicycle that your legs don't touch it at all, even when it's full of stuff. I use it to hold my keys, wallet, cell phone and digital camera. I personally don't like using a backpack when I ride because they make my back sweaty.
