Basket(s) add mucho utility to any kind of bike, with minimum trouble or cost, at least where baskets are available.

Below is my wife's current utility bike which she loves because at last she has a comfortable full size bike, with a low seat where she has no problem reaching the ground when stopping. Next door neighbor had this bike outside for the last 5 years and asked me if I wanted it for free. I added the basket and bell which I had bought while in Germany. My wife doesn't care what it looks like and she uses it to ride to the local hospital for volunteer work, 12 mile R/T.
