Are you still here, Thrasymachus? No one's really listening to you any more.
Good news is, I've figured out your problem. So now I understand and can stop wasting my time with you.
Squeeze, it's funny, I've had those baskets on the side of my house for years, and have never seen them on another bike. Until this morning, when I saw someone else with them.
Thanks for the great advice Bjforrestal!
