Bike Baskets & Pannier Racks

How do you fit a bike basket?

Fitting a bike basket depends on the type—front or rear.

Front baskets typically attach to the handlebars using brackets or hooks and may include stabilising rods that fix to the wheel axle. Rear baskets often mount onto a pannier rack using clamps or screw systems.

Always check compatibility with your bike frame and fork before installing.

What is the bicycle basket called?

A bicycle basket is commonly referred to as a bike basket, though some may call it a front basket, rear basket, or handlebar basket depending on placement.

These accessories are designed for carrying small items like groceries or bags and are especially popular for commuting and city cycling.

Do bike baskets fit all bikes?

Not all bike baskets fit every bike. Front baskets generally need flat bike handlebars and space around the stem, while rear baskets require a pannier rack.

Some models offer universal fittings, but it’s important to check size, brake cable placement, and frame design to ensure proper attachment and safe riding.

Can you buy a basket for a bike separately?

Yes, bike baskets are sold separately and come in a wide range of styles, sizes, and materials.

Whether you’re looking for a front or rear bike basket, options are available to suit most types of bikes.

Make sure the basket is compatible with your bike’s handlebars or pannier rack before purchasing.
