Bike baskets are the perfect solution for adding some extra cargo capacity to your bicycle. Whether you are running errands or packing a picnic, a bicycle basket makes it easy to bring everything you need along with you. You can find front and rear bicycle baskets made of wicker, wire or other materials to suit your style and carry capacity needs.

Most bicycle baskets wicker  are easy to attach using straps or hooks and either fit onto your bicycle frame for front baskets or a luggage carrier on the back of your rack for rear-mounted baskets. Front-mounted baskets are easier to use and are great for carrying things like backpacks, bags, lunches and other gear. Some have a lid to keep items secure while you ride and a liner so they don’t shift around during the ride. For heavier loads, you may want a rear-mounted basket that fits on the rack as it will help to keep the load lower and thus not impeding your control or handling.
