20 Best Front Basket For Bike (2023 Updated)

A little disappointed but not enough to warrant returning it. I’m torn here. On one hand, the size is PERFECT as far as carrying capacity , lightness, and proportion. Just big enough to carry the basics for a small trip, or work commute.

Doesnt overwhelm the bike or cause displaced weight like some of the bulkier metal ones HOWEVER, the half of me that regrets it is unhappy with the lack of color options, and its instability. maybe I’m not doing it right, but no matter how I tighten the straps, there is too much jiggle and it doesnt feel secured.

Add to it the fact that the wicker makes a cracking noise every time I make the slightest adjustment or addition of weight. I’m not sure how long it’ll last if just basic adjusting causes it to splinter.

Very pleased with the basket especially for the low price. While in your house or a store, put your stuff inside a medium-size tote bag and put the tote bag in the basket. You are all set to go! I think it is more practical than the baskets with a handle where you have to unbuckle the straps and carry the basket inside.

By using a removable tote bag as a liner and for easy transporting, the basket will likely avoid getting banged around and last much longer.

This is my second basket, the first lasted many years. Had to be replaced because I damaged it, not from wearing out. Great product!

Exactly as expected. Easy installation. Sturdy construction. Great price point. Trying to drive less, so this basket helps out a lot for tons of short errands.

This is a sturdy rack and it was easy to install. Not for every bike I would not mount this rack on my $3000 road bike or my $2200 mountain bike. I did mount it on my older 1998 Specialized HardRock and it looks great.

Now I am riding the old Spec more and it’s hanging in the garage less. I like riding to the market or the UPS store to drop an Amazon return. I get a good feeling pulling up with a box in my basket it some how makes the return more sensible.

A big sturdy front bike basket. Carries quite a bit. The only down side is you’ll need to get extra washers, preferably rubber, as one of the screws came loose and fell off my first ride! But not a big deal.

Also quite light so doesn’t effect the steering!.

– The purple basket is a nice dark purple color. – It is a heavy duty, quality product. – Perfect size for a 16 inch bike (and probably others. It looks like we’ll be able to use it when our daughter outgrows this one.

) – We hung the basket on the top of the handle bars (my daughter’s bike has a thin bar with a foam decoration wrap. We hung it on top of that foam. ) It also fits fine on the bottom part of the U of the handlebars, she just wanted it higher for easier access while riding.

Only problem for our particular bike is that the thickening where the handlebars go into the frame makes the basket not hang straing. It would have been nicer to have a bend in the middle between the hangers so it could go around that.

My husband will try to bend it a little but it really is a strong, well made, painted well basket.

My granddaughter is getting a new bike for her birthday and wanted a basket. This is the perfect thing for her. Matches her bike and is real sturdy for those falls I am sure she will have. She loves it and fills it up with all her 6 year old stuff.

Thanks for such a great product and great service.

My wife bought one of these while we were on vacation, so we could carry a blanket and snacks to the beach. I liked it so well I ordered this one online for my bike. Be sure to consider your front reflector location.

The first basket originally went on my bike, resting against the reflector, since her reflector was on the handlebars and in the way. I moved it slightly with a screwdriver when I got home, and the basket fit fine.

It was only then that I attached the standoff bracket, which works well and should be used. I moved my post mounted reflector to the front of the basket and put it on with the original screw. I had to plan my attachment of the bracket to avoid brake and gear cables, but it was no problem.

Great product!.

Ive bought this basket several times over the years for my bikes from Walmart and ive had black and white. The white will show rust quickly so be prepared to spray paint it white again or use touch up paint.

Here are some tips. 1) screw the handle bars attachments on SLOWLY. Do not crank as tight as you can or you will crack the parts. Have the basket angled up just a tiny bit so that when you put something in it , it will hang down to a level state.

For those who put small pets in baskets like this with the wire mesh make sure you always put a towel, blanket or some material in it that covers every hole on the inside of the basket. it is VERY easy for pet claws to get stuck in the holes.

If you want to be great pet mom and know how to work a needle and thread make a basket liner out of a towel and a little pillow stuffing ( pad the top more incase they want to rest their chin on the side of the basket) I also HIGHLY suggest getting a bunch of zip ties and zip tying it t your handle bars with about 5 zipties on each side.

(again angle it up a little first ) I did this and tightened the zip ties almost all the way and then put my dog in it to measure tension and then tightened the zipties all the way. My boy dog is 10lbs and the basket would droop down with him in it if I didn’t put the zipties on and also I feel safer about him riding in it if the basket is secured in more than one way.

Bell Bike Basket Well-made. The basket support is sturdy metal and attaches easily. There is an adjustable support that attaches the handlebar post to allow as much clearance from the fender as you need.

The basket is spacious and accomodates my backpack easily. It makeS my grocery store trips so much more pleasant not having to drag my cart when I need to buy heavy items like flour and potatoes. This basket can handle them no problem.

Like all Bell bicycle products I’ve used, this basket is high quality and reliable. I’m so grateful Walmart carries this brand.

I found this basket to be of very high quality material. Mine did get damaged in shipment when the box was handled poorly but we were able to use a mallet to mostly straighten it. I was surprised how much assembly there was.

I’m not a handy person and I guess I thought the basket would just snap right on to the handlebars. Fortunately a little tool was included so I had everything needed to assemble the bracket. Turns out I had to remove a reflector light that was already on my handle bars.

After about a half hour I was ready to snap the basket into place and – uh oh! It could not fit. The handlebars are not straight across but rather curve in toward the rider in the middle. So the basket could not connect with the bracket as it needs to be flush.

I’m disappointed that I didn’t figure that out before I started assembling it. The basket would have been very useful for my colleg aged daughter to bike to classes with her supplies. I’m going to look into getting a bike with straight across handlebars so I can use the basket.

It’s a nice large size and good construction. I think it only comes in black.

The basket is well made and will definitely withstand the test of time. It will probably last as long as my Schwinn Cruiser. It can carry a good amount of weight. I put about 10 pounds worth of stuff in it.

It has a quick and easy snap on and off release so you won’t be struggling with it no matter what you have inside of the basket. I would definitely recommend this item.

I initially thought that I would have difficulty installing the basket. However, the instructions were very clear and even though I’m a gal I was able to install it in less than 30 minutes on my bike using the recommended tools in my husbands’ tool box.

Once on, it’s been great to hold my cell phone, bag, etc. It is quite roomy and the best part is that it is removable! The handle seems very sturdy, I’ve had no issues with it thus far. I love that I can remove it easily and take it in my house if I don’t want to remove my items one by one.

This basket is not only cute & practical but looks perfect fit for my bike (beach cruiser). It’s quite a bit bigger than most baskets which is just what I wanted. Very easy installation just attach the leather Straps to handle bars and you’re on your way.

Very well made and worth the price!.

Good size basket, and easy to attach. It concerns me that it is easy to remove because it could be stolen. I would like to figure out how to lock it to the handle bar. Otherwise, it is all that I hoped for-handy and durable.

The belts that are used to attach the basket are very thin and do no resist more than a pound. I believe they would rip after a couple of uses.

ordered 2. 1st damaged on arrival and was returned. 2nd broke the 1st week of being used to hold my 11 year old daughter backpack for school. Both broke in the same place- top rail. Waiting to see if they are going to warranty this item.

I have made 2 phone calls but no response about replacing the item.

I received my Thule Pack ‘n Pedal Basket about a week ago. The instillation took a few minutes, but once finished the basket looked great and held tight to my rear bike rack. It’s a good size basket, not too big, not too small, just right.

Took my bicycle with new basket to the grocery store for a test trip. The basket made no noise and worked perfectly!.

Just bought this. Nicely made, seems sturdy but it was difficult to install. The threaded metal cylinder used to attach the screw was difficult to hold in place while trying to thread the screw. It sure why the piece was not attached to the bracket initially.

It would have made the install much easier. Also, at nearly $100, the unit is way overpriced.

Was going to use it to carry my dog on my Tricycle bike. But I need alittle bigger basket. Or maybe my dog gained some weight ? Either way. it is very solid and nice looking (no sharp edges) But I need one bigger wide and length.

It is tall enough.

Bought this basket as a replacement. The fit is perfect and the price was amazing.

It fits perfect and has a nice coating. Everything it should be. I m very satisfied.

As described, sturdy, hangs level. I use for display purposes, garden art. Thank you !

Delivered when they said & fits perfectly! Looks great and will last for many years!!! Thanku

While this basket is advertised for a child’s bike, I purchased it for my adult beach cruiser. It is large enough to hold the important items, like a cell phone, water bottle, and house keys. It could even hold a beach towel.

And, it is small enough to stay out of the way of the tire or reflectors. Well-made. Solid bottom. Very steady.

My basket came slightly damaged from a crushed box. Public Bikes immediately shipped a new one at no cost and let me keep the slightly marred one as a compliment. Nice gesture.

So love love love my basket and bike. It actually holds more than I thought it would!! I placed a Gorilla Glue clear tape on the head tube behind the basket base so it doesn’t rub on the paint. Works like a charm.

Thanks Ryan and Co.

This is a good quality basket. It is solid but lightweight. The mounting bracket stays on the bike, but simply lifting up the handle removes the basket. It’s a perfect feature if you are not really sure you want to bike around town with a basket you are not using.

If you are bothered by the slight rattling when going over bumps, like my wife was, here’s the solution. Use bike tape or electrical tape and wrap it several times around the wire basket the two places it attaches to the bottom of the bracket.

You can do the same thing on the bracket at the bottom where attaches to the bike frame. Also on the middle of the handle, if it bounces up and down against the basket. Just turn the tape around the wire multiple times, making the wire thicker, until you get a snug fit.

Long story short, my bike was stolen and my husband gave me his bike and we have been outfitting it like the stolen bike. The last item we needed was a basket and we chose this one. IT IS WONDERFUL. He had no problems installing it, it looks good, it is sturdy, and it easily holds all my stuff (mask, water bottle, hand wipes, sunglasses, emergency money, all in a string bag), helmet when the helmet is off.

We took it to the grocery and it held two half-full plastic grocery bags of items, in addition to my other stuff. I love this basket–can you tell? Little day care kids were walking by us the other day and one of them said “Look, she has a crate on her bike so she can carry things!” Indeed I do and I am am very happy with my “crate.

“.

I bought it for my daughter for her birthday bike. She says it’s great! It was easy to install, no tools needed, the basket itself comes in and out of the holder easily, yet securely locks into it, it has good capacity, and also comes with protective wraps so that the basket doesn’t scratch the bike.

Most importantly, it’s made in the USA!.

I received my Nantucket Tapered Bike Basket and could not be more pleased with my purchase. It fits perfectly on my Evelo Luna Step-through Cruiser Bike. I get comments every time I ride it from people wanting to know where I got the bike, then where did I get my cute basket.

The basket is a convenient place to put my keys, lock, water bottle, etc. The leather straps are very strong. I went to a shoe repair shop to have extra holes punched in the strap to attach it tighter, and the craftsman commented on how tough the leather straps were.

He had to struggle to simply punch additional holes in the straps. This is a testament o the fine materials used. I would highly recommend this basket for not only it’s appearance, but the quality of its construction.

I plan on ordering the matching pannier in the near future!.

This lovely basket is a real trip down Memory Lane for me. It keeps my binoculars at hand when I encounter an elusive bird on my bike rides. The basket is sturdy and very skillfully woven. Blue is my favorite color and makes me smile just to look at it! In this world of hi-tech metal bike accessories it is so refreshing to find such a simple and elegant solution to handy safe storage on the go!.

I bought this to carry my six pound dog, named Roxie. It is a beautiful basked and very well made. I love the fact that it has the wire top. I live in a rural area and there are birds of prey also dogs that roam free in the town.

I know my dog is secure and protected in this basket. I made a quilted sun top that fastens to the top of the wire frame to protect her from the sun. It is so cute. I would recommend this to anyone that has a small pet that they want to take on rides and also protect them from predators.

I also have a walker with a tray and it can be fastened to it to take her for a walk or put it on a belt to use on my lap when I use my power chair. It has a lot of uses and I know we will be using this basket for years.

Thank you for such a wonderful product.

I finally find the right biking basket for my dog. It is large and solid. I install it on rear rack with some cable ties, which is super easy. My 17 lbs puppy seat comfortably, still with a lot of room.

I would expect the basket can still be used when my dog reach his full size around 30 lb. The delivery is also faster than I thought. Overall, I am happy with the basket, I am sure my dog is happier.

designed to fit almost any bike, it’s large for carrying like 2 lg paper grocery bags and it’s heavy duty, may not be the best for casual beach cruise, but it’s not so big that it’s ugle. I bicycle nearly every day and go grocery shopping so one trip to the store is limited to what I can carry.

Usually I’m riding to and from my work. I live in 90024.

This is a front-mount basket, although I’ve modified it to make it a back basket for an adult tricycle. Works okay.

Just right size to hook onto front of my mothers’ walker-she loves it. I just hooked it over the top bar and easily bent the hooks to close. It’s completely secure. Now she walks to kitchen to get her own food and drinks when she feels like it and most important to her, she’s able to care for her cats carrying cat food, cat treats, cat brush-she loves her cats.

My mother is a whole lot happier having this basket-it’s a tremendous help. I highly recommend for a walker.

This is the perfect size, I have an Electra Townie. It is so easy to install- nothing to it. I purchased a quick release basket that was so awkward to use, and that was empty! So I returned it. When I found this I was thrilled.

The quality is outstanding. The design is simple but perfect. The attachment fits handlebar perfect with nice rubber protecting. The basket sits on rack and the handles lock into the top when in the down position.

The handles have a nice rubber grip. When the handles are down, they sit snugly on the top edge. So with these two features – the handles don’t rattle! It really is a great mix of the mesh and retro together.

And the oval shape gives the vibe of a wicker basket but with more practical features. It’s just Awesome!! IMG_1193. JPG Love it!!.

I had my doubts, to be honest, about this. But I was really surprised just how well the basket worked out. Didn’t realize i’d like the detachable function as much either. Now when I roll through drive thrus I can just drop everything in the basket and jet out of the way.

When I go to the store to load up on drinks for work I can just detach the basket when I get to work and stick the whole thing in the fridge. This has been invaluable to me since I got it.

Easy-to-install, lightweight basket for small to medium loads. I gave it 4 stars because the 137 is a slightly outdated model of Wald basket. Their 1372 is the same product, with sturdier two-piece adjustable legs.

If you want this basket and the difference in price is amenable, buy the 1372 instead. (This goes for the 139 and 1392 as well!).

I had the 137 and found it wanting in size. This is great with either commuter bars, flat bars, or very wide or tall drop bars. I didn’t use the bracket that came with (you can take it off by using leverage to remove the bracket with a strong flat screwdriver).

Excellent basket.

Overall I think this is a great Wald basket. I’m just a little bummed that once received, I see that the legs are different than what everyone is showing on the posted ad. Instead of multiple holes for adjustment, there is only one.

Just be aware of that when figuring out if it will fit your bike.

Basket looks great and seems good quality however, the product description is misleading. The basket can only be mounted to racktime racks with the clip it comes with. It does not come with Uniklip. On other websites the basket is sold with unklip adapter.

I bought this for an ebike but it works in my other bike also. It’s very secure, the klickfix korbklip can be adjusted for different size racks and tubes. It’s totally secure but easily relived. For the money it’s great value.

I would highly recommend this product.

Very solid, good space and good quality. Could do with a better attachment kit (universal)

This basket is the real deal woven natural material basket. If that is the look you need, this is it. The release is easy and quick and it has a handle. You can take it off the bicycle and bring it for shopping so that you don’t buy too much and can’t carry it all home.

Attractive, functional. There are some shortcomings from a functional standpoint: 1) the mounting hardware is not solid. The plastic parts break easily and eventually, you will have to find another way to mount the basket to your handlebars.

2) the basket mounts too high on the handlebars for flashlights. So, if you have a flashlight mounted on your handlebars, it will interfere with this basket 3) The basket will not last long. No fault of the basket construction, but any basket mounted on the front of the bike is going to get banged around a lot.

Wicker baskets USED TO BE CHEAP, so they worked well for bashing up and replacing. Metal wire baskets last longer not only because they don’t break like wicker, but you can pound them back into shape when they get bent.

You might consider a steel mesh basket OR buy wicker baskets at your local thrift store for a buck and strap them to the handlebars like they did in the old days. When they get bashed up, toss it and put on another buck-basket.

4) Not for heavy loads like books or a backpack. Good for a bottle of water, camera, loaf of bread, Toto, etc. 5) Basket tends to fall off of the mounting (as in fall onto the street) when you hit big bumps.

like if you go over a railroad crossing, etc.

this basket is horrible! i had it fpr about a week, and one day on my way to school i had by bag in it wich containd a simple text book and a note book and in the middle of my ride the basket collapsed! not only was it a waste of money and a hude embarrasment! i bought a wire one and have had it for about a month and use it everyday and even thoug the dark colors arnt atractive it is much better than this one! even thou this one may be “sooo cute” it works great! like they say- dont judge a book by its cover!.

Awful. Instructions left a lot to be desired for mounting. Came with all screws in and when I opened one fell out. It would not screw in at all. Bigger than I thought. Not dark like picture. Returned the day I received it.

I love this basket the most out of all the ones I have ever bought. We have 6 bikes in the house and each has a basket but mins the best. Because when you take it off nothing pokes u because the hardware stay on the bike! Its amazing and its a hell of a lot cheaper then others I have bought.

Good basket, holds up with a bag full of groceries in it. The plastic thing in the middle of the handle came off the first day, but the rest of it seems sturdy

Very well made and very roomy. If you are looking for a larger basket that comes off the bicycle easily, then this is for you.

Super cute basket. We have the 26” kids bike, and I think the scale of the basket is a little small for this bike. The basket also came kinda shredded a bit. I like it, but I wouldn’t say it’s as well made as the other public branded accessories I’ve gotten in the past.

The basket is adorable and so well made. It’s really going to make my daughter’s new bike even better. It’s a good size (to fit everything for her little adventures). Wishing they had the adult size in stock so I could get one to match! Will likely gift one to myself later.

Highly recommend!.

Overall, my daughter loves this basket!! The openings in each corner of the bottom of the basket are a bit larger than expected & not ideal. The pink basket coordinates well with the powder blue bike!

I ordered this basket in gray and it’s a beautiful basket on my blush color C7! I have to say though, I expected more from it for the price. It wobbles quite a bit no matter how tight I have the straps and won’t stay centered even with the bracket that comes with it.

I had my local bike shop assemble my bike and the accessories and they are a Public vendor so I am confident that is was properly installed. It also makes a very annoying rubbing sound. I’m not sure how long I will leave this on my bike.

I’m trying to love it and hope that maybe the rubbing noise will subside once it’s broken in a bit.

This basket works great! I love the color and it attached easily to my bike. Doesn’t seem to shake around when I’m riding and holds my water bottle and other items just fine. The size is nice and holds a lot without being too bulky.

Overall very happy with this purchase, much cuter than a plain water bottle holder and can hold much more.

Bought it for those days I’m just ambling around town. Matches my rose gold bike and is very pretty. It’s wonderfully deep and maybe can hold more than it should; the first day, the wooden support slipped down too far and I had to redo how I hung it on the bike.

It would be 5 stars for me if the wood were finished with a satin lacquer. feels like the finish will fade with the elements.
