BUY THIS BASKET!     On: 2008-07-06

I purchased 2 of these baskets but have so far only attached one to my bike. I was glad another reviewer mentioned not centering the basket on your rack to avoid having your heels hit the basket. This makes it harder to attach the bracket designed to help stabalize the lower part of the basket but dont let that little problem scare you. This basket is perfect to use with the popular reusable grocery bags. I tie the handles together to help secure my groceries on the ride home. I knew Id enjoy saving gas with my grocery baskets but I had no idea how much fun it would be. Ive been amazed by how much food Ive carried with just one basket. I keep expecting to have problems with balance and the strain of lugging 40lbs of food, but, so far my trips have been pure JOY!
Wald 582 Grocery Baskets     On: 2008-07-04

If you are using these baskets for groceries they work fine. I have a handle bar bag for 1 gallon size milk container, my bananas and tomatoes. The other stuff, beer, wine, coffee, vegetables, other can goods and meat fit nicely in the rear baskets. Weight is not a problem, they are strong. No problem with foot clearance, just make sure you mount them far enough back. I wear a size 43 bike shoe and have more than an inch clearance. Note: The baskets are mounted on my touring bike. They do not rattle empty or full. The price is right.

Mount Them Far Back     On: 2008-06-26

I bought these from a local St. Louis bike shop for a lot more money, but that included installation...and glad of it. I told the installer my concerns over the heel of my shoes banging into these when extended out. He didnt listen & had to re-adjust them back about two inches. Thats the only negative. Dont install them "centered" but back about 2 inches on your rack. They dont weigh a heck-of-a-lot. When extended out, they hold a lot and are sturdy. Naturally, they are not rain proof. So check the weather before you pedal off to the store. I would suggest some bungee cords to stretch across the top once your purchase is in the baskets.

These baskets are able to carry so many things.
They are a great asset to any urban cyclist.
Work well with a Topeak Explorer Rack     On: 2008-06-16

I have a pair of Wald 582 baskets on my Topeak Explorer Rack. Installation was a little awkward, but it did work and Im pleased with the overall result.

As others have observed, the Wald mounting clamps are a little too narrow for modern racks, including the Topeak. However, they are made of soft aluminum and I found it reasonably easy to gently bend each clamp so that I could get the clamp over the rack; then bend it back to get the bolt through and threaded; then as I tightened the bolt, the clamp bent further into place until I had a tight fit. Id rather the clamps had been properly sized, but the end result works.

In order to get a good location, I paused partway through the tightening and did some test cycling and adjustments to make sure the baskets didnt catch my heels. (For me this was with the front of the baskets about 2.5 inches behind the front of the rack.)

Like others, I found Walds side U-clamps inadequate and used electric cable ties to secure the sides. I hear a little rattling when the baskets are opened out, but none when they are closed up.

Installation was a little more awkward than necessary, but it worked in the end and Im pretty pleased with the result. The baskets clip closed securely and expand out easily. They seem sturdy and I have no qualms about loading up heavy grocery bags. Its a big improvement over balancing bags on my handlebars!

Wald 582 bicycle folding grocery baskets     On: 2008-06-15

Low cost alternative to fabric panniers, fold flat when not in use. Each one easily accomodates a fully loaded grocery bag. I mounted them as far back as possible on my bikes rear cargo carrier to allow my feet more space when peddling. The only negative is that the mounting clamps seem a little flimsy-I reinforced them with slip ties of the same color. This product has helped me reduce the use of my automobile.
I would recommend these baskets.     On: 2008-06-11

These baskets are easy to use. They fold up easily when not in use. I had to buy some longer screws to install it because the ones that came with the baskets were too short for my rack. I had to adjust the clips that hold it onto the rack also.



Quality, function, price     On: 2008-06-09

I bought a bicycle Rear Rack grocery basket for my wifes bike and for my bike. Each exceeded my expectations! I attached them to the paniers on the back of each bike. They open easily when needed and hold their shape when open. They collapse easily out of the way when not in use. They are heavy duty, dont rust and were a great price. Would recommend to anyone!
Baskets are Great for the Utilitarian Bicycle     On: 2008-06-09

I have spent the last 2 summers struggling with the decision of whether to purchase these baskets or not. I did not particularly want to add significant weight or bulk to my bike and yet I found myself frequently in a situation where I needed to haul things around and wished I had a "trunk" to put them in. After finally committing to the purchase, I must say I am thrilled about my decision.

As a frequent commuter by bike to work downtown, I often come home with more than I take in. Now, rather than fooling with bungie cords or hanging cumbersome plastic bags off of my handlebars, I simply unlatch the baskets and neatly place my shopping bags in them. So far I have conveniently and safely hauled such things as produce and potted plants from the farmers market as well as bottles of wine and library books. The convenience is well worth the added weight. I love my baskets!

I think this is a wise purchase for anyone who uses their bike (rather than a gas guzzler) as a means to get around and complete common errands. One who rides merely for the sport of it, may find the extra weight too burdensome. The baskets are utilitarian in nature. Go without if you are looking for the fast and sleek ride.

The only reason I did not give a five star rating to this product has to do with the hardware that is included with the product. In order to attach the baskets to my bike rack, I had to purchase longer bolts to properly secure the braces, so keep in mind that, when it comes to hardware, one size does not fit all bike racks. After making this modification, however, I am glad to report that I am not experiencing the "rattle" that a few other customers have detailed in their reviews.

On a final note, I did benefit from reading the other reviews prior to receiving the baskets and I highly recommend others who are considering this purchase do the same. Having done so alerted me to the fact that I might need to make some hardware modifications. It also gave me insight into properly mounting the baskets; particularly the hint to place the baskets approximately 2 inches behind the rack to allow room for heel/pedal clearance. Had I not read this, I am sure I would have had to re-mount the baskets as the written instructions that come with the product does not make a note of this. So, my sincere thanks to all who posted reviews before me.
Folding bike baskets!     On: 2008-06-06

Im very happy with my baskets. They arrived in a timely fashion and work wonderfully. They attached with clips and are easy to reposition when needed.
just what I wanted     On: 2008-06-03

The baskets are unobtrusive, easy to install and so far I love them...they let me commute (with clothes change and lunch) or shop at a moments notice without forethought of a big backpack, they are there out of the way.
Real Practical     On: 2008-06-02

Its very practical and sturdy!
Love them!
Ive seen others types of rack baskets and I decided on these. I highly recommend them.

nifty basket     On: 2008-05-31

This is great, solved all my problems! No more wobbling down the street while trying to hold on to grocery bags on my bike.
Really nice baskets     On: 2008-05-27

I know that Wald has been around awhile and my main concern was that this would be low quality work. Boy was I surprised. The baskets remind me of the folding pet kennels. They collapse to about 1" and stay put. I used one or two tie wraps and have had no rattles. I live on a rough rock road and havent shaken them off yet. (I did use Locktite on the bolts, however.)

Overall, the product and price are great. I had no delivery issues to complain of and the baskets installed fairly easily. I say fairly because I have a road bike, Blackburn rack, fenders and the space was limited. It took less than ten minutes to install both baskets.

Im happy.
METAL BIKE BASKETS     On: 2008-05-09

I enjoy them very much and use them a lot. I like that they cant be easily removed/stolen from my bike. Great for going to Farmers Market.
Great baskets! Easy to install. Very convenient.     On: 2008-04-15

These baskets are great. I used to have a crate mounted on my rack and these are lighter weight, better weight distribution, look nicer, and can be folded in when not needed. I commute to work and bring a purse, gym bag and lunch. It all fits!
bike rack     On: 2007-12-21

the product is exactly what was described for my order- shipping was quick and when I had concerns on the product the company responded immediately,
Good Product - Well Made     On: 2007-12-03

This is the best product of its type Ive found.
The only negative is the mounting hardware did not fit my bike. I used electrical ties for mounting- works well- with no rattles.
Love my baskets!     On: 2007-11-15

This also took some ingenuity to install, and quite a bit of time. The clips provided for attaching it to the bike rack were not quite the right size and I ended up bending and twisting them to make them work. I finally got them installed. They fold up neatly, and can carry more groceries than you would think! I REALLY love my baskets, and love that they came in a pair.
So awesom I bought two sets!     On: 2007-11-05

My wife kept hinting how cool my baskets were. Now she has them as well. Best bike accessory ever!

Great product, great service from Niagara     On: 2007-10-28

These are just what I needed. Folds out of the way when not in use and always there in a pinch. They rattle a bit, but that is to be expected in a fold-able design such as this. I have these mounted on a Blackburn Mtn rack, so the mounting hardware would NOT fit the round tubing. I tried plastic zip ties as others have suggested, but the ones I had on hand were not heavy enough to hold much weight. I am now using stainless steel hose clamps with good results.

Niagara Cycle Works was great. My Blackburn rack was on the same Amazon order from Nashbar and i had to wait almost a full week after the baskets had arrived before finally receiving the rack.


A Bit of a kluge, but servicable     On: 2007-10-22

These baskets are heavy and not too well designed. You take a risk if you put loose items in them as the sides flex out and can leave wide gaps for things to fall out. Holds a standard full size paper grocery bag nicely.

You have to mount them as far back on your cargo rack as possible or you risk kicking them as you pedal. The minimal instructions fail to mention this. The baskets are certainly durable and should last the life of the bike. Serviceable but not elegant. I would recommend the black ones. The silver ones are pretty garish and ugly looking. No problems with Niagra Cycle.
baskets are alright but not optimum     On: 2007-10-10

product took more than a week to arrive and does not fit on my rack as other people mentioned. i was able to force it on with the metal pieces it included, however it is difficult to lack the basket when i try to fold and store it. im a college student and two baskets ended up being too much added weight on my bike to haul all over campus so i am only using one now. the material is a bit on the heavy side. otherwise frame is study and works well.
A keeper     On: 2007-10-01

Useful and practical. Sturdy, holds plenty of stuff and then folds away neatly. (I have very rigid reusable grocery bags, paper bags wont do as well.) I can see me riding around with these when Im a grandma (20 years from now?).
Fantastic     On: 2007-09-27

Love these baskets. They turn a bike into a very practical vehicle. Used them for years and have given them as gifts. Great for college students. Really sturdy!
Niagara Bike Products     On: 2007-09-20

The baskets came in a timely manner and were as described - although it was not so clear that a rear bike rack was also required to mount them. So a week after the baskets were received, I ordered a rear rack and a mounting hardware kit for the rear rack. Unfortunately, rather than recieving those two ordered items, a front basket was received. This turned out to be a major inconvenience, as I actually ordered these items for my disabled brother-in-law, and had them shipped directly to him. Needless to say, it just seems not at all worth the effort, or my time, to reorder from this vendor on Amazons website. Online shopping should be convenient - this experience is in the deficit column in that respect. Ill just go to a local bike shop where I can actually put my hands on the items I want to trade my money for.

Great product, great service     On: 2007-09-17

I bought these baskets for my daughter to use in riding her bike to school. They are great; they hold everything she has to cart back and forth from high school, and the fold-up feature is very nice. Shes very pleased with them.

Great customer service from Niagara Cycles (seller) too. I tried to leave seller feedback but kept getting kicked to another page for some reason.

Excellent Bicycle Baskets     On: 2007-09-07

Ive been using these baskets for a couple weeks now, and I love them. I didnt find any trouble installing them on my rack, within minutes they were ready to use. I have made several trips to the store grocery shopping and for me, they have worked Great...!!! I also purchased the cargo net, which has helped really well too. Great Product, fast shipping. Another Amazon Success Story...
Mounting hardware needs to be reconfigured.     On: 2007-09-04

The R-shaped mounting hardware that connects the basket to the bicycle rack needs to be reshaped to accomodate rear bike racks that have a larger diameter metal. The supplied bolts are a tad short and should be about 1/8 inch or 3mm longer.

Its easier to use some rubber tubing (cut lengthwise, inserted unto the leg of the rear bike rack to reduce noise from vibrations)) and plastic tie to mount the rest of the basket to the leg of the rear bike rack than use the supplied U-shaped bracket.

Just what I wanted     On: 2007-08-29

This is just what I wanted, but buyers should follow the advice about mounting that other reviewers have given. I was surprised that the rack added so much weight to my bike that I had a bit of trouble lifting my bike onto the my cars bike rack (I am a fairly fit 51 year-old woman). I use the racks to carry my roller blades; I think a big front rack might have worked as well as these. Still theyre great.
Convenient baskets     On: 2007-08-24

I like the way the baskets fold up. The attachment hardware was not very helpful. I ended up using cable ties to attach them.

Fabulous baskets-- just the right size!     On: 2007-08-15

I am outfitting a bicycle to become my basic errand vehicle for my return to city living, and chose these as my carriers for a few reasons:

*They fold! When shut down, they collapse to about an inch thickness-- very convenient!
*Unglamorous metal framing lacks the sexy steal-appeal of voluptuous panniers
*They fit a purse, grocery bag, or school bag-- all things Ill be carrying.
*They come in a set of two, and are reasonably priced!

Once I had my rear rack on, these attached very easily with basic household tools. I had no problem installing them, but someone with very large hands may have problems. I have had no problem with rattling, and have not used any additional hardware to secure them. A tip-- I found it useful to pinch down the U-clips before screwing them on, to get rid of the gap.

They do add a bit of weight to the bike...around five pounds. My bike is no aluminum frame wondermachine, so its not a huge difference to me, but it could be an issue for someone who wants something very easy to lift and carry.
good idea     On: 2007-08-07

These are very workable baskets.
I like the price and I had no problem getting them to work for me. I used ties instead of the hardward as the hardware did not fit my bike rack.

Suggestions for future - a lighter material - they are a little heavy for my taste but then I have a heavy iron made bike so I am trying to lighten the load.

This item works fine tho and I am glad I got them. I am a teacher and have to carry stuff around - these take care of the problem.
Versatile bike basket     On: 2007-07-29

A great accessory for those who use their bikes to run errands around the neighborhood. Will hold two full size grocery bags or one bag & 1/2 dozen bottles of wine. Folds flat when not in use.
Wald Rear Bicycle Rack Baskets     On: 2007-07-21

Great baskets that fold up totally out of the way. When theyre closed, you dont even really notice them. Had to add longer screws though, as the ones they supply were not long enough to secure it to my rear rack. Not a problem though. Great racks for the money.
Great basket     On: 2007-07-18

These baskets are great. I only have one attached to my bike with zip ties. I use the bike for commuting daily and for occasional shopping. You do have to replace the zip ties occasionally, but you can carry quite a heavy load in the basket and it is still stable.

Definitely worth the money and you dont have to worry about them being stolen like with regular panniers.
Excellent carriers
by: pfoltz5    On: 2007-06-22

These baskets are great! They fit securely onto almost any rear rack on your bicycle, and each one can hold a traditional paper grocery bag. A great excuse to get some excericise while grocery shopping.

They fold up properly when not in use. The only grouse I have is that they should supply some type of release mechanism so they can be removed more easily - or without tools (but on second thought, someone can pinch them more easily!).
Cool Baskets     On: 2007-06-13

These baskets were the best investment I have made yet. They are so convenient for going to my local farmers market. The fold out of they way and look very stylish on my bike. I must for anyone who uses their bike for more than riding trails.

Easy install, easy use!     On: 2007-06-09

I love these baskets. Theyre fairly easy to install (you may have some minor problems, depending on the type of rack to which youre attaching them or if you dont have tiny fingers), and once theyre on, theyre super easy to open and collapse. I use them as a commuting teacher and can get plenty of my work material in the baskets. I really appreciate the metal clip that holds the baskets together close to the rack when youre not using them - its a clip that you can open with one hand, and maybe even close with one hand if youre strong enough.

They do rattle a bit, but thats the result of them being a collapsible metal basket. Instead of using the U-brackets included with the baskets, I used plastic zip ties (as suggested by other users) to fix the bottom of the baskets to my pannier frame - a much simpler solution than trying to get the U-bracket to fit over the odd angle of my particular frame. Again, as suggested by others, I would make sure you have bungee cords or nets available to hold things in that risk bouncing out during rides over uneven pavement or brick/cobblestone surfaces.

Baskets are strong and functional. Have to make adjustments if your rack is not metal, otherwise they are great.
Best baskets     On: 2007-05-11

Couldnt ask for anything more from these baskets - they work great. Tried another basket that was always open and it was so cumbersome. The only downside to them maybe is that it wont protect your items from the rain - those hot/cold grocery bags fit into them if you are stuck in this predicament.

Besides the other things already mentioned, sometimes one has to re-distribute groceries back into the bag to make everything fit nicely.

Ive also found that holding the baskets in place with masking tape first makes it a easier to screw on the attachment hardware. If the supplied hardware doesnt fit a wide tube, plumbing insulation fasteners work pretty well.

Works well for me.     On: 2007-03-11

I use the baskets for my grocery shopping, and they have been working very well for me. They were easy to assemble, and feel sturdy--even with bags of flour and canned goods I have not felt like I was overloading them on weight. I love that the baskets fold up, it makes it so much more convenient for storage.

We use the baskets on our folding bikes. The bikes have 16" wheels and they fit very well. I would recommend this item.

Highly recommended.     On: 2007-01-25

These baskets are well worth the money, especially because they were alot cheaper than others i had priced. They mounted easily and work seamlessly. I thought i would have to secure them with zip ties, but they are stable enough without.
Great buy!     On: 2007-01-16

Delivered promptly and in good condition. Lightweight, more aerodynamic than panniers. Hold several bags of groceries. Very satisfied.
Good But Not Quite Great     On: 2007-01-04

These baskets are the biggest ones I could find, they are convenient (folding) and built well enough for moderate-weight items, but if you put loose items in them you may have them bounce out over rough pavement. Also with actual groceries sometimes things are not so heavy, but bulky--and the baskets would be improved by making them four to six inches deeper.

great for the city     On: 2006-09-21

These baskets are great for running errands in the city! I commute by bicycle and I leave these on the bike all the time. I dont notice the weight, they dont get in the way, and most importantly, they dont scream "steal me" the way a set of panniers would. Folded open, they hold a LOT of stuff. As far as I can tell, theyre solid and theyll hold more weight than I ever want to carry. I used zip ties in addition to the mounting hardware, and Ive had no rattling issues.

Two cautions:
* The included mounting hardware uses regular nuts instead of nylocs or lock washers. Check them often or get some nylocs at the hardware store, because this is not a vibration friendly setup.
* Be sure to mount these far enough back that your heels dont hit them! On my bike, that means that they have to be about two inches farther back than they would be if I centered them on the rack.

The best option for groceries.     On: 2006-05-29

These baskets are great. I have tried more expensive and lighter weight grocery panniers, but those dont hold as much weight or volume, and they are a pain because you have to take them into the store with you to avoid having them stolen off the bike. I use zip ties to attach the Wald baskets to my bike, because with the included hardware they tend to rattle. I carry a lot of groceries with these, including heavy things like beer, potatoes, and flour. I find they work best with paper grocery bags, but they also work quite well with reusable cloth grocery bags.

They do weigh quite a bit, though. 5.5 pounds may not sound like much but if you have to carry the bike up any stairs you might want to think about whether youll be able to manage the weight. I use a steel Wald rack for mounting these, and that also adds a bit to the weight.
Fantastic!     On: 2006-02-25

I use these baskets ALL the time. Theyre amazing. I recommend, though, getting a few small bungee cords to help secure things so they dont jump out over the top of your baskets, but other than that, theyre quite sturdy. They are a little bit difficult to secure to the back rack, but once done youll wonder what you had ever done without them.

grocery baskets     On: 2005-10-05

Have had these for around a year. Can load up about $70 worth of groceries (the cheap heavy food) with the optional wald front basket. The out side lower frame of basket is held up with a steel loop tab. With such a heavy load I put two small master locks on both inside and outside bottom frame edge bars for fail safe support. An alumium alloy rack wont do well with that weight, am going to try out the Wald steel rack soon with hardened bolts to frame. I use the Wald parts on a 1960s crusier, it is similar to a pickup truck.
