Abstract
A carrier bag for attachment to a bicycle comprises an enclosure of semi-flexible material and a substantially rigid, three-dimensional frame received within the enclosure, the frame including a pair of spaced-apart legs of generally inverted J-shape positioned in engagement with a back wall and a top wall of the enclosure. A pair of spaced-apart hooks of generally inverted J-shape, each of which is connected to respective spaced-apart legs of the frame, projects exteriorally away from the back of the back wall of the bag in position for engagement of hook portions with upright handlebars of the bicycle. Since the hooks for attaching the bag to the bicycle are attached to the frame, a load in the bag is transmitted into the rigid frame from the enclosure and is, in turn, transmitted from the frame to the handlebars.
