ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bicycle basket

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a bicycle? It's a fun way to ride and get some exercise! Well, imagine if you could put things on your bike to carry with you while you ride. That's where the bicycle basket comes in!

A basket is like a little box that sits on the front or back of your bike. It's like a big pocket that you can fill with things. You can use your basket to carry all sorts of things like your lunch, toys, books, or even your pet!

The basket is usually made out of metal or plastic and it attaches to your bike with special hooks or straps. That way, it stays in place while you ride and won't fall off.

Having a basket on your bike is really helpful because it means you don't have to carry things on your back or in your hands. It also makes it easy to bike to the store and carry home groceries or other things you need.

So next time you ride a bike, see if you can spot any bicycles with baskets! They're a handy little accessory for any biking adventure.
