Actually, it's from the Caribbean restaurant next door. Anytime there is a breeze, the umbrellas from the outdoor seating go flying down the sidewalk. I'm surprised no one has been skewered yet. Thankfully, my basket usually stops them before they pick up too much steam and cause any damage.
The baskets catch all types of interesting things. Last week, someone on a bicycle tried to touch the chains while riding by and ended up snagging his handlebar. He wasn't going very fast but sounded embarrassed when he said, "I was just trying to touch them." Well you did, buddy.
A few months ago the same thing happened except this guy was going a little bit faster and made quite a racket. He didn't wipe out but looked like a fish trapped in a net.
I'd say that 60% of the people who walk by the basket jingle the chains. You can't resist it. Must. Touch. Chains!
