An article holding apparatus adapted to be secured to the axle of a wheeled vehicle, said article holding apparatus comprising:
- a mount adapted to be connectable exclusively to the vehicle axle;
- a container connectable exclusively with said mount, said container having one or more side walls and a bottom, said one or more side walls and bottom defining an interior volume for holding articles in said container;
- and
- said mount and said container comprising interconnecting mounting elements, whereby said container and said mount are interconnectable in sliding engagement such that said container is freely disengageable from said mount when said mount is secured to the vehicle axle, and wherein further said interconnecting mounting elements comprise a mount wheel, and a bracket having generally confronting surfaces adapted to capture said mount wheel therebetween such that, when said container is connected to said mount, said container is securely engaged with said mount.
