Shopping carts/baskets have made several appearances on the site before. We have seen a shopping cart trailer, a shopping cart turned into a front wheel/rack, and a shopping basket affixed to handlebars. The latest hack involving a shopping container however is by far the most elegant in my opinion. Reader George from Arizona submitted the following text and pictures.

Hey gang I have a cool idea here. We found a shopping cart that had been hit by a car and we made a shopping cart bike. The cool part is instead of paying $20.00 or more dollars for a headlight, I went to Wal-mart and got a solar garden light for about $2.00 and now I use the sun for my power. It is very bright and living in Arizona, we have plenty of sunlight.

Congratulations. You have made a bakfiets.

I guess it must be that time of year - mine too is coming on nicely!
