ABSTRACT:
A container for articles such as food which is snuggled behind the head (vertical) tube and rests on the top (horizontal) tube of a bicycle. The container includes a relatively narrow width so as to hide behind the head tube such that the container adds no wind resistance to the bicycle. The relatively narrow width further provides no interference to thigh and knee pedaling action. The container includes a relatively elongate lid which may extend up and over articles such as bananas. A Velcro.RTM. connector band on the lid engages a Velcro.RTM. connector band on the receptacle to close off the receptacle. The connector band on the receptacle is relatively wide such that the connector band on the lid may be fixed to upper or lower portions of the connector band on the receptacle to thereby tighten or loosen the lid. The lid is flexible such that its connector band may be fixed at an angle to the connector band on the receptacle so that the lid may be partially twisted around elongate articles such as bananas and still make a connection to the connector band on the receptacle. The lid includes a mesh or is macroscopically apertured to permit the one riding the bicycle to see into the receptacle. The receptacle includes walls with stiffeners. Straps extend from the receptacle to the head and top tubes. Two straps extend from the receptacle to the top tube to minimize twisting of the receptacle relative to the top tube.
