Type of review

Overall I'm happy with this purchase. It was relatively easy to install the adaptor that goes on the handle bars to attach and detach the basket - except the little spacers were extremely difficult to keep in place - and you have to keep four separate pieces in place while you figure out exactly how to position the bigger front and back pieces.I purchased the version with the extra pockets, thinking it would be nice to put a water bottle in the side pocket, but the pocket was too small for even

Best bike basket, lightweight but sturdy

I really like this bike basket. The basket is lightweight & easy to attach & remove. Even though it is lightweight it is very sturdy. The handles lie flat in the basket when folded down. There is a lot of room in the basket to carry quite a bit. I can see a small dog fitting in the basket. I only gave it 4 stars for install as the instructions are confusing if you have never put a bike basket on a bike. I found a you tube video that showed how to put the bracket on the bike which was a life…

Pros
  • ‎Handlebar
Cons
  • The basket is too small for larger bikes

Not the best craftsmanship and functionality

It's fine. Stitch work is falling apart and isn't complete in certain areas. Water bottle portion is only big enough to hold a plastic water bottle not a reusable water bottle which is a shame But other than that it is a easy to remove easy to put on basket I thought I wouldn't like the handles being so in the way but it's kind of nice cause it just secures everything down. I could never see this practically used for a pet unless you were talking about a hamster lol there is not much structure…

Pros
  • The basket is collapsible so that you can store it easily.
Cons
  • The basket is not durable and will break quickly

Versatile basket for my opinion

Basket was easy to install. Have had no problem so far with the locking mechanism as others have indicated. Good for small shopping, biking accessories ( jackets, helmet, etc), picnic items. For those who are unsure what the long black plastic pieces are for…since the basket is collapsible they are to be inserted on the sides to hold the basket up (so it doesn’t collapse when you get it down on a hard surface). Appears to be made well. Happy about my purchase

Pros
  • The basket's sturdy construction allows you to safely carry heavier items without worrying about damage
Cons
  • The basket is not suitable for storing food

I love this wonderful basket but my little puppy loves it even more. It’s hard to workout when my little guy wants to be with me constantly. I found the solution with this amazing product so I can have my puppy with me while riding my indoor stationary bike by keeping him safe in this very comfortable basket that I don’t even have to attach it to the bike. Vey east to install — just hang it on the side! My puppy falls asleep 💤 all the time because it’s very comfortable and secured. Very good…

Pros
  • Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry when you're not riding your bike
Cons
  • The basket doesn't match the aesthetics of your bike

Great Product and Quality!

LOVE!I wanted a basket that could hold at my groceries, picnic supplies, wine bottles, blankets, and my laundry.separately of course. This basket can do all, it comes with a rain cover which, has been the most AMAZING thing. I can load up my laundry in it and fill it way over Capacity, then I put the rain cover over it and with the elastic at the bottom it Holds everything in! I’m obsessed. It’s incredibly easy to take on and off, and has good quality pieces. I luckily took my basket when my…

Pros
  • COFIT Bike Basket is a reliable and practical addition to any cyclist's gear
Cons
  • This basket doesn't have a closed top, meaning objects can fly out during your ride

Made a bracket for an e-bike

This basket is not recommended for e-bikes because of all the things hanging off the handle bar. E-bikes have a mounting plate for baskets and racks, but I didn't like any of the baskets made for them.I made a bracket to hold this basket and I love it. The basket easily comes off to take into the store and goes back on just as easy. On this trip I carried a 5 lb bag of sugar and 4 cans of frozen fruit juice.

Pros
  • It's a great way to carry your workout clothes to the gym or bring a change of clothes for work
Cons
  • The basket is too cumbersome and takes up too much space

Very convenient, love that it detaches

I’ve carried a lot of things in this basket and it has never once fallen offEven on dirt roads it stays solid, and i have an electric bike so I’m going fast and it stays on!I love how easily it detaches and reattaches, very convenient, i always take the basket with me if I’m leaving my bike locked outside. And as a plus, if i take it in the grocery store with me, I’ll definitely know the things I’m buying will fit!Anyway long story short i love it and it works very well, super easy to install…

Pros
  • Made of waterproof oxford cloth and rustproof aluminum frame, the basket is light-weight and easily cleaned by wiping with towel.
Cons
  • The basket is not suitable for long-distance biking

Very nice basket best in my review

Update - This basket kept slip down and did not hold up well. Constantly worried it was going to break or stuff would fall out. Ending up having to get a new basket.I would have given it 5 stars. I have 2 bikes, my other has a wire one, but I really wanted one where everyone cant sees what I am putting in my basket. I really like the overall quality of this basket. But, these are complications I had on install:I have a Trek bike I measured the widest part of my handlebar to make sure this would

Pros
  • I’m submitted for a gift of bike gloves , large. Thanks
Cons
  • The basket is too small to carry larger items

Not just for bikes on my review.

I realize that this is supposed to be for a bike, but I actually bought it for my wheelchair. I have a large canopy on the top of my scooter and this fits great on the back bar. I really like using it in the garden. I can detach the basket to gather up the veggies and they pop it back on when I am finished so it leaves my hands free. It's a very nice bag. It's not completely rigid so you can compress it to save space when you aren't using it. It has metal handles so it's very sturdy and…

Pros
  • Just could not ride w/ a backpack on me any more. I love it!
Cons
  • The basket doesn't have enough support

Gets the job done: my feedback

Overall a great product. Fits quite a bit. Easy to install and easy to detach to carry your stuff by hand. It is awesome when riding out to the beach or swinging to the nearby store for a quick item. It allows me to pack enough for myself, and my daughter, since I can’t wear a back pack with my daughter in her bike seat. I also use it for a shopping basket at the store. Feels a little flimsy at times, when loaded to full capacity, but seems solid enough (the attachment device is a strong…

Pros
  • It fits my bike great, was easy to install and folds flat if I need to store it.
Cons
  • The basket is difficult to install on your bike

Easily fits around the bike cables

I wasn't sure the basket would fit in between the cables on my bike, but it did with ease. The basket was fairly easy to install. I do like to get a grocery sack in a bike basket, but I will be limited on the weight of the items with this one. That's ok though because I know it will be safer not to overload :) This will provide ample space for a purse, wallet, rain jacket, lunch sack, extra water.or a small dog. I do like the fact it is super easy to remove. This basket is just what I needed.

Pros
  • COFIT Bike Basket is perfect for carrying your essentials on your daily commute
Cons
  • The basket doesn't have enough space for a repair kit

Good quality, easy install.

Quality feels great; the basket itself is super lightweight but the plastic and canvas both feel good. The cover is reversible, black or shiny silver. Instructions to install were easy and it came with an allen wrench so I didn't need any tools. It also comes with two sizes of fillers, to ensure the mount attaches securely to your handlebars and doesn't rattle. I was very happy about that. You may need to experiment with the different thicknesses to find the perfect fit for your handlebars. The

Pros
  • The basket's handle allows you to carry it easily when you're not on your bike
Cons
  • The basket is not easy to access while stopped

Better than the wicker basket my wife asked for.

According to the specifications in the description, I shouldn’t have ordered this. It wasn’t supposed to fit the handlebars nor the handlebar post. The photos convinced me to take a chance that it would work with my wife’s bike. It is a perfect fit. The description didn’t mention that it came with spacers to accommodate thinner handlebars. The thickest spacers made a great fit. Best part- my wife likes it more than what she asked for. I bought the deluxe model with the pockets and rain cover.

Pros
  • Easy install,lightweight,detachable .You will not be disappointed.
Cons
  • The basket is not waterproof

Easy on and off for my opinion

I love that this basket can be clip on and off with ease. This allows me to easily take the items with me when I park. I’ve been using it to return books to the nearby library and doing some light grocery with it. Something about biking to the library just feels great and bag made it easier to carry stuff on my bike. The assembly wasn’t too bad. The mount is a bit tricky to do with just one person since you have to hold the pieces to the bar while tightening the screws. It took me about 15…

Pros
  • It's an excellent way to carry your picnic essentials for a day out in the park or beach
Cons
  • The basket is not easy to access while riding

Great looking and sturdy bike basket

I was very pleased with my purchase of this bike! It is the perfect size, and it was extremely easy to put on my bike. I love that you can detach it and use it as a shopping, picnic , or even pet basket. It is easily able to be removed and reattached when needed, and it can be conveniently collapsed to save storage space when not being used. The handles are really sturdy and the fabric on the basket seems to be very easy to clean and it is also very sturdy. It does include a water bottle holder

Pros
  • Its spacious size allows you to carry a variety of items, including groceries, books, and even a small pet!
Cons
  • The basket is not versatile enough for different uses

Hit or Miss in my review

Really liked the basket so bought a second one for my wife. Unfortunately that one had a problem with it locking in place. The little dimple on the mount that slides out would not retract completely prevenring the basket to seat properly. The replacement customer service sent took a week to arrive when new orders arrived in 2 days. In the replacement hardware two of the screws would not fit the Allen wrench included. It's a great basket but it just depends if you get one that works. Definitely…

Pros
  • Love it great invention. My dog is in heaven riding in this Very stable
Cons
  • The basket is too heavy

Much better than expected!

Now that gas prices are so high, I use my bicycle much more often to make short trips to the grocery store. This basket is large enough to contain a good amount of items, and sturdy enough to get them home safely. I just carry the basket into the store empty, and don’t have to use the store’s. The zippered pocket is perfect for my mobile phone. Easy to put the basket on the handlebars and easy to remove. I will buy another for my wife and between the two of us, we’ll be able to carry a…

Pros
  • The clip on and off feature is easy to use and very practical.
Cons
  • The basket doesn't come in different colors

Perfect for 10 pound pup!

Perfect for small dogs! I looked at other dog bike baskets, but they all hung down too low (would have rubbed on tire) for my mountain bike. My dog is 10 pounds and after a lot of searching I went with this one. It works great! The bracket is sturdier than I thought it would be! At first it seemed my bars were too big, but once I got the screws started it clamped down to make a perfect and tight fit! That clamp isn’t going to budge a hair! BUT, since my dog is my baby I wrapped a nylon strap…

Pros
  • The basket's ample storage space allows you to carry multiple items without feeling cramped
Cons
  • The absence of a carrying handle makes this basket difficult to transport

Just one little thing and 5 stars would've have been

Great item luv it but! When you put the basket on the bike the locking mechanism stops it from going on smoothly, I have to press the little gray locking tab in to fully seat the basket on the harness then lock the basket in place. Other than that this product is awesome My and my little dog go biking everywhere Thanks!

Pros
  • It's a convenient way to carry your beach gear, including towels, sunscreen, and snacks
Cons
  • The basket's mounting hardware is cheap
