Review on Powder Coated Steel Bike Basket With Handles And Mesh Bottom - Colorbasket 02270 by Brian Kingsford

This bike basket is the nifty-est thing I've seen in a while! Well-designed, super-easy to install/remove, cute and functional! A reviewer mentioned that if the handles manage to pop up while riding over bumps, the basket could come loose, so I made sure that wouldn't happen by using equally-nifty Quirky Bandits (think rubber bands w/hooks) that can be removed easily when I park the bike [see picture]. It actually takes me a little longer to remove the Bandits than to remove the basket itself (mere seconds!), when I take it into the store with me.When I shop I always bring reusable bags, so there's no issue of items bouncing out when riding back home since they're contained in a bag. But if you don't use a bag, I can see how the mesh bottom would be useful to contain smaller items that might otherwise fall out. Another nifty feature :)
