Lady luggage

Lady at work is looking for a front mounted rack or basket for her hybrid commuter..

Alas a couple of weeks back she ended up on the bonnet of a car after it pulled out of a car-park without the driver paying enough attention, she wasn’t too banged up and her bike did more damage to the car than it received.. Rider does still have a few back/muscle probs so isn’t happy to carry her laptop back-pack, doesn’t want panniers but thinks a removable basket or front rack would suit her style..

I pointed to these: http://store.yankodesign.com/bike-rack-bag-by-po-campo

She pointed out it costs more than the bike! 😉

Anyone got or tried one of the many mesh style baskets?
All comments appreciated.
