Spotted in Boston's South End. No clue what the purpose is.

This looks like an umbrella holder to me, though it would only work to carry folded umbrellas.

I had a similar setup for a baseball bat for when I had to ride through the shady neighborhoods.

A gentleman cyclist's umbrella holder?

Fishing pole? Flag? Broom?

Possibly a cane holder?

Maybe this person does bike jousting and this is for his lance, or it is for a fishing pole.

Shotgun holder.

I say polo mallet holder or walking cane.

Arrows! Definitely a quiver for arrows. If you see the rider, there is a bow crossed over his back. A deter for the Bubba who tosses out his minagerie of cyclist's pet-peeves.

its definitely for a fishing pole, i have seen people do that in Queens, NY

I think I see something in the bottom of it that looks an awful lot like loose ball bearings. Maybe it's an ammo holder for a BB gun.

I saw a window washer today in Chicago with almost this exact setup on his rear wheel to hold his poles.

put an empty water bottle in there tie it to the bike and if you fall in to deep water the bottle will be a buoy.

Flag holder for the bicycle drill team this person rides with!
