Sturdy and practicalKristyn
I bought this basket to go on the front of my mountain bike, which I also use to go grocery shopping and for other various errands. It fits comfortably on the front of my bike, and comes off easily for shopping and when I go riding on back trails (the basket stand is minimal and doesn't impede rough riding). I did have to remove my front reflector because the basket stand takes the space, but that was easily placed higher up on one of my handle bars.I'm not sure why some reviewers say their baskets fall off--the handle of the basket locks it into place when down, and there are 2 hooks on the bottom of the basket holding it in place. The only way that basket is coming off is if the handle is up and the basket is lifted off the hooks. The only suggestion I have is to wrap the handle with some cloth or something--it's thin and can hurt your hands when full of heavy groceries/items. Other than that, it's a great little basket! If it works on my cheapo mountain bike, it should work on anything.
Great Removable Basket Medium sizeIrina G.
It's my 2nd basket, first one got stolen with a bike :(I ride to work, I carry my lunch and a bag, bottle of water, can put more staff and secure it with bungee cord. I was able to install it all by myself!
Just what I was looking for....Rose
This is my first review of an Amazon purchased product. I would first like to thank the people who reviewed it before me, those reviews really helped.I spent about a month looking for the ideal basket. It amazed how expensive they can be and, in the case of some, how impractical. I looked at several websites, bike stores, and a couple of big box stores. After reading the reviews here I decided upon this one and am very thankful.I highly recommend it if you are looking for a basket that can be used as a grocery basket or fit a grocery bag in it, can fit a lap-top in it, or a backpack, is more rain-safe then most, is easily removable, and sits beneath the handle bars so as not to get in the way of lights, reflectors, hand-breaks, etc. This basket's price here was far more reasonable then many less practical baskets. I was also happy that it came with all the attachment pieces and good directions to attach it. Plus, it does look really cute. I commute to work on my bike daily and it has held up very well.The minuses I saw in several reviews should be discussed. For one reviewer there wasn't a very comfortable handle to carry the basket when it got full and heavy, that reviewers advice was to tie some cloth around it. Another reviewer said it bounced when he rode it making a bit of racket. I had one occasion of this when I hit a giant pot-hole but, other then that it has been quiet and stable in my experience with it.So, if you are looking for a moderate size, removable basket, at a good price, this might be just what you are looking for....
Must install correctlyA. Wheeler
This product must be installed correctly to operate correctly(Obvious, huh?). I originally didn't study the examples given and just installed it to however it seemed to work and I had the same complaint as the negative reviewer: The bottom bar that pushes against the headstem would just fall off(I positioned such that it was tilted downwards) causing the basket to smash right into the front tire! After I looked at the pictures(Like the one at the top of this page), it became apparent the bottom bar is suppose to tilt upwards where the headstem meets with the handlebar and after reconfiguring it, it has never fallen off and is pretty sturdy. It's also VERY convenient for trash(And other more endearing objects), like when you're going through the late-night drivethrough(It's happened before!). Also, my handlebars are much thicker than the bicycle's handlebars in the picture so the supplied handlebar mounts and screws didn't really work and it would've taken a thinner and much longer screw to mount it: instead, I just used solid core wire laying around and wrapped it really tight. The mounts are still not completely "grasping" the bar, but it's solid enough to work. I have a 2008 Diamondback Response moutain bike so maybe it's not meant for newer mountain bikes in general? Or Diamondbacks specifically? Or, specifically, responses?Another note of caution is that the basket's handle is supposed to be in the pointing-up position when placing it on the rack, push in firmly and it should pop in, and then lay the handle to the side and it secures the top part of the basket. It appears like it should be pretty obvious, but I can understand how something like that can be missed since ... well... I don't remember it being in the instructions.
White Wald Front bicycle basket.Darrin Vindiola
I did a month of shopping for front bicycle baskets for my Schwinn beach cruiser.Here's what I love about this basket..1.) It mounts on your handlebars around the gooseneck, which keeps it suspended away from the frame. Other baskets lay against the frame and scratch or rub the finish off of your bike.2.) The setup of this removable basket is quite ingenious, detatches in a blink of an eye, but remains safely attached until you remove it.3.) If you choose not to use the basket, the mount is not unsightly at all.4.) The basket sits high enough which allows you to mount a headlight on the fender with plenty of room to spare.The name plate on the font of the basket also has a nice retro look to it. All in all.. a great product. I really can't find anything wrong with it. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a nice detatchable basket.
