Baskets on bikes are very useful, and so are handlebars. Unlike handlebars, baskets are pretty easy to steal. The Bike Porter from Danish designer Goodmorning Technology mashes the two together into something that looks like it could be used for mobile cage-fights. Between very small opponents.
The concept is a good one the basket is built into the handlebars themselves, making stealing it hard even on the brakeless fixie in the photo, which has no cables to deter thieves. Being metal, its also tough. Sure, small things will fall through the gaps but for slinging shopping bags in there and carrying them home this would be ideal.
It also has another advantage for the aesthetically-minded fixed-gear rider. As this is technically just a fancy handlebar, you can add it to your bike safe in the knowledge that you havent corrupted the clean, spare, simple lines of your ride.
