Bicycle Baskets
Front Baskets: The simple old fashioned basket which hooks over the handlebars isn't suitable for most modern bikes due to the need for a bit of space in front of the handlebars for brake and gear cables. The quick release style baskets will suit most bikes, but should only be used with light loads to prevent the mounting bracket slipping around the handlebars The baskets with stays (mounting to the front axle and to the steering) are a dependable solution, but relatively difficult to fit, and unsuitable to bikes with front suspension.
Rear Baskets: For mounting to a luggage rack, a rear mounted basket can carry relatively heavy loads.
