Oh hi, sorry I didn’t see you there, I was adjusting my wicker bike basket! Am I cute or WHAT? Just kidding, I’m not really asking. Because in case you were like, “Is that girl adorable?” my bike basket will speak on my behalf: Absolutely!
Sure, it can be hard to know for sure if you’re supposed to find an adult woman “adorable,” but allow my white, hand-woven wicker basket to give you the official green light.
When I first bought this vintage red cruiser I felt very, very precious. I was like “Well, I guess I’ve hit my peak loveableness!” But then something in my tender heart said, “Baby girl, you can do more,” so I went basket shopping and wow! My cuteness grew exponentially!
Sometimes people say to me, “Hayley, how do you do it?” And I say, “Look at my bike basket and ask me again, you idiot!” It’s really very simple. My bike basket makes me a cupcake angel of giggling adorability. I even put freshly cut flowers in the basket. Could I get any cuter?
I’ve seen other women on bikes. Some of them are even wearing helmets and weird shoes that clip into the pedals of their sleek, charmless bicycles. Golly, the other day I saw a woman going SO fast on her bike that I was shocked! Can anyone even see your freckles when you go that fast? Also, why are you carrying your belongings in a backpack when you could delightfully display them in a bike basket?
Most importantly, how do you flirt with passersby if your stuff isn’t constantly tumbling out of your adorable, inconveniently small baskets?
With a basket like this, I just don’t have time to think about things like bike safety, or commuting, or other un-adorable bike things because I’m too busy having a wicker bike basket and therefore becoming the cutest person you’ve ever seen! Next on my list is adding a charming little bell—but first I’m going to find a bundle of flowers or a small dog to put in my adorable little basket. Teehee!
