Bike Baskets For Bikes and Scooters

Just because you're not a kid doesn't mean you can't have fun accessories for your bike or scooter! We can't forget those cute little bikes we all used to have as children, and probably the same types of bikes your own children use today. They feature poms poms on the handlebars and a little basket on the front or back of the bike for carting around dolls, books, or candy from the local supermarket. As you get older and enjoy the same thrill of bike riding or riding a scooter, you can still benefit from having a bike basket on your bicycle. These baskets are great for adding an extra hand when yours are simply tied up! You can do a quick shopping trip or carry an extra change of clothes for a day at the beach. Don't forget other essentials that your bike or scooter basket can hold, such as a wallet, cell phone, water bottle or lightweight jacket. '''Useful Products:'''

Wire Baskets vs. Wicker Baskets

When choosing a bike basket, think about what you will be using it for. Many baskets are made from metal wiring, but some have big openings. If you plan on using your bike basket for blankets or extra clothes, you don't have to worry about them slipping through. But for smaller gadgets, you will need a bike basket that is closely wired together or is made of a different material, such as wicker. Wicker baskets are lightweight, but aren't as durable as wire baskets. However, many people enjoy the added advantage of having their belongings in a solid basket, instead of a wire basket that you can see through. Another point to consider is the color of the basket. Most wire baskets are black or white, making it easy to choose one that matches with your bike. Wicker baskets on the other hand, come in plenty of colors; some are white or tan, while others are bright pink or purple! Wondering if wire baskets are cheaper than wicker? Most cost about the same price, between $15 and $20 for one basket.

What to Look For

Besides the material, also consider whether you want your bike basket to be on the front or back of the bike. Front baskets give you easy access without having to reach or look back. On the downside, some riders find front baskets distracting while cycling. Rear bike baskets on the other hand, are harder to reach, but they are kept out of the way while cycling and are great for storing grocery bags or your helmet when the bike is parked. Also consider how you will attach the basket, as some are mounted onto the bike or scooter with simple hardware, while others have Velcro straps. If you plan on moving your basket around or taking it with you into the grocery store, opt for one that can be removed easily.
