Abstract
A carrier bag assembly for attachment to the handlebars and stern of a bicycle comprises a collapsible carrier bag, a bag frame positioned within said bag having pivotally engaged front and rear members, and a bracket assembly comprising a bracket, a securing member, and a bracket engaging member. The bracket is shaped to be engaged on the handlebars and stern of the bicycle and converges downward in a V-shape. The securing means comprises a tubular member and an elastic rope member to be looped around the upper frame of the bicycle. U-shaped lower ends of the bracket are removably engaged into slots in the tubular member of the securing means. A V-shaped bracket engaging member is permanently affixed to the rear wall of the carrier bag. When mounting the carrier bag on the bicycle, the bracket engaging member is slid into the V-shaped portion of the bracket. The carrier bag is provided with rings for attachment of a shoulder carrying strap so that the bag may be used apart from its use when mounted on a bicycle. By pivoting the front and rear portions of the frame toward each other, the bag may be collapsed when not in use.
