I bought this basket to go on the front of my mountain bike, which I also use to go grocery shopping and for other various errands. It fits comfortably on the front of my bike, and comes off easily for shopping and when I go riding on back trails (the basket stand is minimal and doesn't impede rough riding). I did have to remove my front reflector because the basket stand takes the space, but that was easily placed higher up on one of my handle bars.I'm not sure why some reviewers say their baskets fall off--the handle of the basket locks it into place when down, and there are 2 hooks on the bottom of the basket holding it in place. The only way that basket is coming off is if the handle is up and the basket is lifted off the hooks. The only suggestion I have is to wrap the handle with some cloth or something--it's thin and can hurt your hands when full of heavy groceries/items. Other than that, it's a great little basket! If it works on my cheapo mountain bike, it should work on anything.

Product Description:
Bicycle baskets are the definition of functionality. By simply clamping a bicycle basket to your handlebar or rack, you can easily carry more stuff to and from where ever you may be pedaling.
The Wald front handlebar bike basket is ideal for carrying groceries and other smaller items. The versatile Wald 3133 front basket is no exception, with a large basket area that makes it easy to carry groceries, picnic items, and other essentials while riding. The versatile basket bolts to your front handlebar via a Wald holder. The holder offers plenty of clearance between the bar and the basket--helping it accommodate your bike's shifters, cables, and brake levers--but still holds tight to your bike.
Bike baskets also offer a number of secondary benefits. They help prevent riders from carrying items in their hands, keeping their focus where it belongs. They also help balance the excess weight appropriately, so you won't feel off kilter each time you round a corner. They can even impact your wallet by saving you money on gas when running errands. And, of course, they can contribute to your physical and mental wellbeing, as bike riding is terrific exercise and helps clear the mind.
Available in powder-coated white or gloss black, the Wald 3133 basket measures 14.5 by 9.5 by 9 inches (W x H x D).
