Schwinn Quick Release Wire Bike Basket, Black, Weather Resistant, Folding Handle for Hand Carry, Fits Most Adult Bicycles, Includes Mounting Hardware, Bicycle Basket for Adult Bikes

Great basket. I’ve had it a couple years now. It lived outside in the snow for a whole winter with minimal rust! It’s adjustable for connecting to the bars. It holds all sorts of things- very useful

Don’t take my 4 stars wrong for “easy to install”, it’s easy to understand show to install it, but the part that’s hard to attach to the bike is the part that should stay on the handlebars tightly forever so it’s good in the long run. Arthritis folks might want to bring a spotter. The basket is great for all uses, held a gallon of water no problem when that’s all I needed form the corner store (but then my bike fell over from the weight when I put down the kickstand 🤣 and now I know to be careful how I park the bike when the basket is heavy). Easy to take the basket on and off, but still sturdy. Easy to clean, pretty cute for a wire basket and definitely holds more weight than my old wicker one.

In my quest to bike to work (which is still in progress, I need to be a faster biker), I was looking for a good sized basket to hold things in. This one has the added bonus of being removable, my interest was peaked, and I purchased it. It was relatively easy to install, and surprisingly sturdy and holds a decent amount of weight (several books, two heavy water bottles, a purse...and it was ready to take more). I did keep an eye on it because it did have a tendency to slip until it was leaning against the pole for my handlebars, but once it landed there it didn't move. I'd say it's pretty solid, just made me a little nervous until I learned it wasn't going anywhere else.

This review covers four recently purchased products that are helping to make life with my broken foot somewhat bearable: 1. Drive Medical DV8 Aluminum Steerable Knee Walker 2. Knee Walker Pad Cover by Vive 3. Schwinn Quick Release Wire Basket 4. Seal Tight Freedom Cast and Bandage Protector - Adult Leg I am a sixty-five year old male, 6'1" tall, 185 lbs. I am recently retired and kept in good shape through running and gym workouts. During a run a little over a week ago, I made a quick move to avoid dogs on a leash lunging at me, rolled my ankle and broke my fifth metatarsal (Jones fracture). Upon leaving the emergency room, they gave me crutches. I used them for about a day and a half and found them to be a real pain in the hands and lacked stability. Luckily, we still had my mother-in-law's old walker. I used the walker for the next five days. During this time, my orthopedic doctor fitted me with a walking boot which in my case is a misnomer because I'm not supposed to walk in it. Apparently they don't cast your foot anymore but instead give you a walking boot to keep your foot stable and protect it. I found the walker to work much better than crutches for getting around. Since I'm retired, 'getting around' means just in the house. I can't imagine needing to get around with a daily job. Even though the walker worked much better, after a few days, I found that my hands had become very sore from pressing down on the walker handles to support my weight. I started wearing my padded bicycle gloves but my hands still hurt. At the time that my doctor gave me the walking boot, I recalled that such a thing as a 'knee walker' existed and had him prescribe one for me. My wife took me to a local medical supply store where they told us that they first had to submit the request to Medicare (I am proudly now on Medicare). The next day we found out that Medicare doesn't cover the use of knee walkers. The store did tell us that we could rent one for $150 per month. I checked with another store that told me that I could rent one for $100 per month. Now on day five of my injury, I searched Amazon for knee walkers. After my usual extensive research, I decided to purchase the knee walker that I named above. I am very happy with my purchase. First of all, I must say that using a knee walker is so much better than using crutches or a regular walker. But having a regular walker is still useful in certain situation such as when getting in and out of the car for a visit to the doctor or where ever. The knee walker handle bar stem does fold down and I'll probably test out having my wife get it in and out of the trunk for an appointment that I have next week that will include a semi-lengthy 'walk'. I purchased this particular knee walker for these reasons: 1. The seat is not split but rather has an indentation that allows you to position your knee perpendicular to the seat - I felt that this would be beneficial when needing to 'stand' near kitchen counters and the such. 2. My wife would be more easily able to lift an aluminum knee walker as opposed to a steel knee walker. 3. I felt that dual brakes were better than one brake. And yes, I think you are better with dual brakes because they really don't grab particularly well. But that is a result of having 'tires' that are skinny and hard (a good thing in this case). The 'tires' are like large inline skating wheels. Because they are skinny and hard, you can slide the knee walker around easier. For instance, when I'm sitting at the kitchen table and have my knee walker next to me, I can easily slide the back end of the knee walker across the floor so that it's pointing in the other direction for easier transfer from my chair back to the knee walker. I don't really use the brakes to stop my forward motion. I would lock the brakes if I wanted to kneel in a stationary position without rolling out of place. 4. This knee walker had the best and most reviews on Amazon. I did see that this walker did not come with a basket but I felt that points one and two for my reasons for buying over-rode this one negative point. As for the knee walker pad cover listed above, it fits the seat perfectly. I can tell that without this extra padding, the seat could become uncomfortable on your knee over time. I do recommend getting the seat cover. I saw that most people purchased the Schwinn basket. I tried seeing if I could find a cheaper basket because I figured that a basket is a basket. But anything less expensive appeared to not come with mounting brackets. I didn't really see brackets discussed with the Schwinn basket but I figured that customers would give negative reviews if it didn't come with a mounting bracket. I can tell you that it does come with a mounting bracket. It mounts up on the handle bars rather than down on the pole which is perfectly fine. And it has a release mechanism and the basket has a handle so that you can remove the basket and carry it around if necessary. Finally, I'm glad that I ordered the cast protector. I initially felt that putting a garbage bag around my walking boot and keeping it in place on my leg with a rubber band would be fine. And actually, that did work fairly well. But I always kept my leg outside of the shower because I didn't trust that my walking boot would remain dry. With my new cast protector (named above), I can easily keep my leg inside the shower without worry that my walking boot will get wet. We have a standing shower that I normally use. But the closest shower in our house is a tub/shower. I place a shower chair (thanks again to my mother-in-law) inside the tub and take a nice relaxing shower while sitting with both legs inside the tub. I don't have to worry about water splashing outside of the tub because my leg is not outside the shower curtain. The rubber seal at the top of the cast protector is an excellent seal around your leg. But it does take a little work stretching the rubber seal up and over your walking boot. I try being very careful not to catch the rubber on anything that might cause it to rip. I've used it for three showers now with no problems. I've never broken a bone in my life except for twice getting some cracked ribs from bicycle race crashes years ago. Since the whole process of living with a broken foot is such a pain (although the foot doesn't really hurt much unless I move or knock it the wrong way), I wanted to provide this lengthy review in order to help others finding themselves in a similar situation.

I love the basket,it was easy to install, i think i may have installed well to be safety, the size is good enough, it sturdines enough, good handle, worth the price, and safe to have. Thw only thing is that the holder is made of plastic and it may feel is not straight when installing but it will work i think or hope so.

So handy! I used it on a beach bike I had before we moved. It’s deep, stable, sleek, and simple. I ordered this one for my current ebike, but unfortunately the handles are way too big.

No clip to clip onto bike! Please contact me

This basket is just what I was looking for. It’s very sturdy and has a handle for quick release so you can carry it into a store or post office etc. Easily snaps in and out and it holds almost 10 pounds of weight inside. I filled it right up with heavy items and it did not effect the steering or handling of the bike at all. So happy with it that my mother is ordering herself one as well. Highly recommend!

Not fit to the bar size of my e-bike and cannot be installed. I give it to my friend☹️

Just as described. Arrived in perfect condition and all parts, instructions were included. Packed in a strong box with padding. Thank you. Easy to install and sits well on the handle bar.

Es facil de instalar y muy resistente y practico sobre todo para las compras en super mercado, ya que ya no te metes con la bolsa de mercado, te metes con tu canasta, la montas en ka bici y listo
