Best Bike Baskets In 2022

On our list of ten great products, there’s one that really stands out from the rest, and it’s the Retrospec Bicycles Detachable Bike Basket. This excellently designed bike basket features a steel build, ensuring long term durability and protection against the elements, so you’re guarded against effects like rust and fading. Its neutral purpose design also guarantees it is functional in a number of ways, ranging from your UberEats runs to laundry errands.

Another feature that contributes to its versatility is its dimension as it cuts a perfect balance between spacious and portable with 9.5 x 10.5 x 14 inches in size. Furthermore, its wide mouth to narrow bottom design gives you the advantage of an open mouth for larger objects, putting little strain on the bike. Also, it has a mesh bottom which is great for holding loose and small items.

In terms of looks, the Colorbasket Kid’s Front Handlebar Bike Basket is very similar to the Nantucket Lightship Collection Bicycle Basket. But it couples its handwoven look with solid polypropylene synthetic cord, made from recycled materials. Regardless, it maintains all the qualities you expect of one of the best bike baskets on the market – weatherproof, durable, and safe.

One of the standout qualities of this product is its flexibility in terms of use. Thanks to two adjustable leather straps that secure it in place, you can attach this basket to anything, ranging from a wheelchair to a regular chair or a walker. Although it comes in an assortment of colors (nine), its uses go beyond its aesthetic advantage.

Let’s say that the previous Colorbasket product is too small for you. It may be because you are looking for something that doubles as a storage space for your delivery side gig. In that case, you should definitely consider the Colorbasket Junior Bike Basket. It has the same material as the earlier reviewed product, which is a recycled solid polypropylene synthetic cord. Although it is one of the cheapest options you can buy, it is durable, weatherproof, and is equally UV protected.

Woven baskets have tiny spaces, which can be an ideal home for germs and mold. However, the BPA-free design here ensures that this basket is safe from bacteria growth. Not just that, the material also makes it safe to clean, so you can simply run soap and water through this basket to keep it looking pristine.

For people whose bike basket needs are limited to having a place to keep light items, the Sunlite Wire Lift-Off Front Basket is one of the best options you can get. In terms of design, it has some similarities with our best choice product, the Retrospec Bicycles Detachable Bike Basket. However, it’s not quite worthy of being right at the top of the list.

This basket has a powder-coated steel construction, guaranteeing maximum durability. It also has a carrying handle, and lift-off mounting hooks, which give it a sturdy attachment to your handlebar. However, there is no mesh bottom, limiting the type of objects you can store in this basket. But it makes up for it with a 14.5 x 8.5 x 7-inch dimension, spacious enough to handle plenty of loads.

If you only think of baskets as containers with holes, then this Lixada product won’t fit the bill. But if you think of them as containers for carrying portable items, then the Lixada Bike Basket fits and is one of the best you can buy. This non-traditional bike basket has an Oxford cloth construction with an aluminum alloy frame that provides sturdiness and durability.

As a basket for your bike, it comes with its handlebar mounting system, which is extremely easy to use. The design makes it an ideal option for shopping trips, delivery runs, picnic supplies, or office files. But the Lixada Bike Basket excels the most as a pet carrier. Furthermore, its Oxford cloth and woven canvas construction make it a strong and tear-proof space to place your pets for joyrides.

In terms of aesthetics, woven baskets are tough to beat because they have that classic look associated with bike rides for generations. The Retrospec Bicycles Cane Woven Basket leverages on that, finding the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. It has a dimension of 9 x 10 x 14 inches which is excellent for shopping trips, delivery errands, or picnic provisions. Also, it comes in a total of three colors.

The cane is durable and is tightly woven – additionally, it is secured with a rolled rim, guaranteeing it stays in place for years. Thanks to its narrow bottom and wide mouth, it can hold different kinds of items, further cementing its place as an excellent multipurpose basket. Combined with its sturdiness, it is an excellent buy for daily or occasional use.

Nantucket Bicycle Basket Co. makes its second entry here with the Children’s Surfside Wire Basket. It is a simple to use, portable basket that is geared primarily for children but is equally useful for anyone who wants mobile storage space for their bike.

The Nantucket Children’s Surfside Wire Basket has dimensions of 9.75 x 6.75 x 6.25 inches, which is incredibly light at eight pounds. It further comes in six fun colors, so you and your child can pick from an assortment of colored accents. The basket itself is made of fine mesh, with holes wide enough to keep it breathable but small enough to store small items securely.

Wrapping up this list is the Wald Handlebar Large Bike Basket; although it is advertised as a front bike basket, its design allows you to use it as a rear bike basket. This particular feature can come in handy on days when you want a distraction-free view of the road.

With a dimension of 18 x 13 x 6 inches, it is not the most spacious basket on the market by any means, but its size makes it a perfect option for cruisers. The bike basket has a steel build for durability and protection against the elements. In terms of its sturdiness, there are two things you can credit for that. The handlebar hooks and two supporting legs that attach to the front axle bolts. Basically, the handlebar hooks fold into the baskets further allowing you to use it as a rear bike basket. Despite the wide holes that are a big presence when it comes to this basket, it is strong enough to handle up to 40 pounds of weight. It can equally hold groceries, a school bag, and a small pet, to double as a cheap bike basket for dogs or cats. You may also like some of the best bike phone mounts, so be sure to check them out.

The Nantucket Bicycle Basket Co. goes in a different direction with its choice of material for the Nantucket Lightship Collection Bicycle Basket. Here, they used finely woven rattan cane which gives the product the aesthetics of a summer joyride. Altogether, this makes it one of the best bike baskets for cruisers. But don’t go thinking it is just another pretty face with no substance. The handcrafted basket is excellent for everyday use, thanks to the use of Indonesian rattan fiber; which is the strongest of its kind. Additionally, the rolled rims prevent the basket from unraveling, further guaranteeing its durability.

You can use this bike basket with most handlebars, by strapping it to your bike with strong and genuine leather straps. Not only do the straps provide ample balance to the basket while it’s on your bike, but they also make it easily detachable. Then thanks to its light weight of 13 pounds, the Nantucket Lightship Collection Bicycle Basket has a minimum weight impact on your bike.
