🚲 Blackburn Local Bike Grocery Bag Review

Nice bag. The picture shows a trellis but they sent me a design which I think looks much better than the trellis. Love it! EDITI has the same issue with the buyer above. The bag lands on the wheel. I've found that hooking the bungee card to the bottom and top of the post helps it stay in place so it doesn't sag.

Bought two bags and both have had trouble getting caught on the spokes while riding. The problem forces you to stop in the middle of the road and one day you almost get thrown off your bike. Wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. I couldn't return them as they were past the 30 day deadline.

Only benefit is the drawstring closure, similar to the old Blackburn Local. Other shopping baskets are simply open at the top and not secure for the items at the top. I'm not happy with this new design and am hoping to somehow reattach the bunjie to

We had two previous editions of this (orange) and bought these as replacements. This is a big downgrade from the previous version as two features have been eliminated. First, the previous version had clamps that attached to a tubular post and were held securely in place until released. It only has hooks that slip off. Second, the previous model had an integrated shoulder strap, which meant you could easily walk through the store and put items straight into your bike basket and be sure they…
