Amazon.com Product Description

Bicycle baskets are the definition of functionality. By simply clamping a bicycle basket to your handlebar or rack, you can easily carry more stuff to and from where ever you may be pedaling.

The Wald front handlebar bike basket is ideal for carrying groceries and other smaller items. The versatile Wald 3133 front basket is no exception, with a large basket area that makes it easy to carry groceries, picnic items, and other essentials while riding. The versatile basket bolts to your front handlebar via a Wald holder. The holder offers plenty of clearance between the bar and the basket--helping it accommodate your bike's shifters, cables, and brake levers--but still holds tight to your bike.

Bike baskets also offer a number of secondary benefits. They help prevent riders from carrying items in their hands, keeping their focus where it belongs. They also help balance the excess weight appropriately, so you won't feel off kilter each time you round a corner. They can even impact your wallet by saving you money on gas when running errands. And, of course, they can contribute to your physical and mental wellbeing, as bike riding is terrific exercise and helps clear the mind.

Available in powder-coated white or gloss black, the Wald 3133 basket measures 14.5 by 9.5 by 9 inches (W x H x D).

Sturdy and practical 5 by .. Kristyn (Boston, MA)
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 size 5 by .. Irina Germash (Brooklyn, NY USA)
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!

Must install correctly 5 by .. A. Wheeler (Spokane, wa)
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.

Awesome bike basket! 5 by .. Book Maven (NYC)
What a great basket! I recently decided to make cycling my main mode of transportation, so I needed something that would hold a bunch of stuff (lunch, my oversized purse, a hoodie), and this fits it all. Also, I like that I can take it off to go shopping. It's very sturdy, and easy to decorate (gold spray paint, a reflector and fake geraniums spruce mine up)! Ride on!

Adapted to a mobility scooter 5 by .. Prof100 (Canton, MI USA)
Works great for a mobility scooter. I had to make a few brackets to fit my wife's scooter design, but this basket works great.
