If I have a bike with a Wald basket, it's such a beater that I can safely park it unlocked outside. No, large saddlebags and, usually, panniers.
When my daughter was very small -- 2 1/2 to 4 or so -- I'd walk from my house to the nearest Albertson's 1/4 mile away, Catie riding, first, a pneumatic tired, freewheeling, parent-steerable Radio Flyer tricycle, then her 12" wheel bicycle through the aisles while I carried a basket. No one complained then or now. I get compliments on my Rivendells. I do this regularly at 2 area Albertson's and a Sprouts. I suppose you have to be a familiar shopper to get away with it.
