I'm satisfied

On: 2008-06-11

Im completely satisfied with this product. It was easy to install. A previous review mentioned that it can be easily stolen but putting a lock on it solves this problem.

Love this basket

On: 2008-03-25

I researched this bike basket here on Amazon and I want to thank the people who gave this basket 5 stars. Its great. My husband attached it to the bike so I cant comment on that but he did it quickly, without any cursing so it couldnt have been too hard (he is pretty good at this stuff tho).

Its easy to put the basket on and take it off and it is stable and solid on my mountain bike. Its really elegant the way it attaches. I throw my giant chain and lock in the basket instead of having it precariously on the rack in back or wrapped around my waist (ugh). And I can actually shop and carry stuff safely. Love it!

Well Made but don't buy for old 10 speed racer bike

Unfortunately it doesnt fit on my old raliegh ten speed..my fault ..should have scrutinized ithe dimensions more carefully. As long as you have ample room on the front handle of your bike,this well made product should easily install and do the job.

Sturdy and practical

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 doesnt 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.

Im 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--its thin and can hurt your hands when full of heavy groceries/items. Other than that, its a great little basket! If it works on my cheapo mountain bike, it should work on anything.

Awesome bike basket!

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. Its very sturdy, and easy to decorate (gold spray paint, a reflector and fake geraniums spruce mine up)! Ride on!

Wald Standard Lift Off Basket

On: 2007-09-02

Suited our needs perfectly and the lift off feature is a bonus. Installation was very easy.

Great Value

I love this basket! I "installed" it in about 10 seconds since it just clips on so easily, and I didnt need to remove any bike parts or use any tools. However, since it isnt locked on in any way, it is just resting on the bike, Im worried it will be stolen, so I used zip ties to fasten it on, and I do not use the lift off feature. The basket is a very useful size that fits a backpack easily.

Bike Basket

The bicycle basket is sturdy and practical and a good size. A real advantage is that it can be easily removed to carry anything in it.

Unusable - falls off at the slightest touch

On: 2007-08-28

This basket is a poor design for bicycles. Both the mount and the basket have problems, and bottom line, the basket will not stay on unless you go to extraordinary lengths to create a custom mount for yourself.

Save yourself the trouble and go to the local bike shop like I did to get a basket thatll stay on.

BTW, I dont know what the other reviewers are looking at, but after actually handling this basket, I would seriously question the authenticity of these online reviews.

Great for a prolific valley!

Living in the Orting Valley in Washington State has been made better with my Wald basket! It was easy for my husband to install and now I know exactly how many ears of corn or melons I can carry home from our local produce stand. Excellent rack, easy to use, we are getting another one for my husbands crusier!

very handy

On: 2007-07-03

This basket is very simple to insall and use. No need to empty the basket, just lift off and carry with you. Great for picking up a few things at the store. I bring can bring the basket into the market with me so I dont over buy. I was impressed with the prompt shipping and quality.

This is a great little basket. Its removable and is capable of holding 1 full grocery bag.

Adapted to a mobility scooter

Works great for a mobility scooter. I had to make a few brackets to fit my wifes scooter design, but this basket works great.

Great Removable Basket Medium size

Its 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!
