Default Suggestions please.

Because I've been unable to ride and probably won't be back behind my handlebars for another three months, I spend a lot of time thinking about riding.

One of the things I've been pondering is keeping my Tomatoes from bruising on the way home from the grocery store.

How do you guys secure your Tomatoes on your bike to insure they don't bruise?

Thanks.

I think you are joking but I actually have gone to the fruit and vegetable stand and put everything in my backpack including tomatoes with no problems with tomatoes being damaged. I do hope you get on your bike soon.

I carry them up to the house from the garden in back. A lot of them get eaten on the way and never make it.
