A luggage rack is a great thing, but only when you combine it with a basket can you fully exploit the everyday transport options of your bike. Baskets made from metal, plastics or impregnated natural materials turn the luggage rack into real usable storage space at the rear wheel. When buying a rear basket there are a few factors to consider. As well as thinking about the size and appearance of your basket don’t forget to pay attention to the type of attachment it has. Some models are designed for fixed mounting on the bike and won't wobble or be stolen. Other models are attached to the rack with simple hooks and spring clamps or with the proven Klick-Fix system – and can be removed in a few simple steps for use as a shopping basket or to carry your purchases inside once you get home.
