Recently in Ingenious Category Picking up a few things for dinner is easy and eco with the Town & Country by Detours. It's part handlebar bag and part shopping basket. Pop it off your bike and it goes down the aisles and straight through the check out. Smart design features abound – ballistic cloth, strong basket handles, open main compartment that holds eight pounds, a drawstring storm collar and a bright yellow removable rain cap. The basket holds it shape due to a rigid bottom and removable seam supports. Take out the supports and the basket can fold flat for storage. Pictured in sky blue, the Town and Country is also available in black, red, green and pink. Available direct from Detours, eBags and many local bike shops. $65.00 AT DETOURS Ingenious
