Nantucket Bike Basket Co Bicycle Basket

Perfect for a stroll through a neighborhood fruit/veggies street market or even a lovely picnic in the park. These NT pannier baskets are an excellent combination of great looks and functionality.The size is quite generous! They’re sturdy and surprisingly deep enough for a family size bag of Lays Potato Chips and a gallon of water or a couple of bottles of wine. I carry a family size beach blanket, book and umbrella in one of the baskets and all items fit perfectly.The handle makes them portable and lays flat on the rim of the basket when not in use. There are also 2 hooks covered in a thickly coated plastic located on the back. These simply sit on the back of the bike’s cargo rack. They slide a little when riding, but nothing out of the ordinary since I don’t ride that fast (LOL). Since they’re super easy to put on the bike I’d be quite concerned about leaving them unattended especially in a heavily trafficked city park so I wish there was a way to secure them to the bike should you opt not to carry.The only other downside is that they are not water proof so you would have to remove these if you leave your bike uncovered. The upside however, is how these baskets transform any bike into something extra special. I always receive a ton of compliments about them. Love!

This basket is beautiful and perfect for my e-trike! I get comments on it all the time and should probably be an ambassador for the company since I am constantly referring people to their Amazon page!!!

Bought 2 of them and they fit great on my sixthreezero e-bike (before you put the battery in for anyone else with the same evryjourney bike) the color is beautiful they feel sturdy and they complete the look/vibe I wanted

Love it. It does have the nice Nantucket plaque on the front like on manufacturer's website. It's a beautiful basket and really the cherry on top of your bike.There is one thing I'll agree with a previous review...the lid...if it happens to be pushed in too much, it can get a bit stuck (think of a lid on a canned food item, when you use can opener and accidentally push it instead of pulling it up, its hard to pull back up/open and you need to use a fork to pull the lid). It's not extremely hard to pull back up, but not something to do while riding the bike and you'll need something to help like a key or a hook of some sort. Also...the front belt/strap... on mine also fell out and got lost the other day. If you don't keep the strap "buckled" ...It is not secured/sewed on or glued on of any sort to the basket so it can easily slip off.This is not a basket you should intend to reach into while riding. And I could see that just by looking at the picture before I ordered it. I wanted a secure lid so I can put my valuables inside without fear of falling and them falling out too. If you want a basket to reach easily into while riding, buy an open basket.

I bought two of these panniers (I'm saying in the French way in my head because I'm really fancy) in hopes that I would one day be able to fill it up with adorable puppies while I bike ride. However, that dream has not come to fruition, but the baskets have been sturdy enough and large enough to hold items on many grocery trips or journeys across the city. I've loaded them down with a questionable amount of weight and they've held their own. They're not waterproof, but they dry quickly and won't degrade when wet.They're extremely durable, easy to use, and probably will get stolen if you leave them on your bike. You could probably zip tie them to the rack. I do wish there were hooks so I could attach a bungee to make sure things wouldn't fall out though.Here are some ideas of things you can put in the panniers:1. Fruits. Lots of fruits. Apples, oranges, pears, bananas, kiwis. No watermelons! No scurvy on your watch!2. Paper and books. Show everyone how smart you are! Choose titles that will let people know you're serious, like the History and Diagnosis of Microphantobacteriology rather than 50 Shades of Grey. Look how impressed you are already! Microphantobacteriology isn't even a real word! (Wear thick glasses while riding for EXTRA SMART POINTS)3. Puppies!4. Kittens!5. Kale! Organic locally sourced kale! Yummmmm KALE!6. At least four bottles of wine.7. Nothing. If someone asks you why you are riding with baskets with nothing inside, look at them seriously and say with a straight face - "Because. I. Do. What. I. Want."8. Another basket. SO META!9. French bread, a picnic blanket, cheese, and wine because you will look so adorbs doing it10. A packet of toilet paper. Ain't no shame.11. More puppies!!!!!!12. Corn! Everyone loves corn. If you see someone you like, hand them an ear of roast corn. Yum!

I love the look of the basket. It’s beautiful. I have a mountain bike and I personally think it makes it look a more feminine and dresses my bike up.I love the color, how it’s made, the shape and the way it looks on my bicycle. I really like the straps that hold it on, and the look of the strap in the front that holds the lid down. I don’t like opening the strap on the lid. It’s like a belt and it will keep it closed. I kind of wish the lid strap was a decoration and that a snap was used to keep it closed. The strap adds to the look but it’s a little cumbersome if you’re in a hurry. I would rather have it than not. I just need to be less lazy.I’m not sure how much the basket would hold but I am confident that it could carry a 6 pack of soda or maybe a little more.Overall I would buy it again.

I’ve used the panniers/baskets for over a year now and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. While not exactly cheap, they are sturdy and well made, well worth the money.The ease of putting them on and taking them off makes them useful as shopping baskets as well. In the supermarket, I just put them in the shopping trolley.

Very sturdy and great quality. Large so could hold a lot! I had to return because would not fit between rack and electric bike battery.

I purchased these for my Townie bike. Looks great! Very heavy duty, can carry alot

I am so happy with my basket, i got it last year. It is so sweet, sturdy and made well, nice finishes, straps to fit on bike are sturdy and easy to put on. I wish it was cheaper, this was a splurge for me personally but i am happy i wasn't disappointed once it was received. It is a good size but not bulky, doesn't overtake the front of my bike.The only thing is it is so attractive that i never leave my bike for long or out of site because i think the basket or my whole bike will get stolen. I mostly use my bike to commute and only make quick pit stops if i have to leave my bike. I wouldn't want to unstrap and put it on and off again to go into a store, that would be annoying to carry and not quick, it would also wear out straps or scratch them up.Basket fits a 750 ml water bottle, a medium/small thick book, apples, lunch, keys and phone (so not a ton of stuff but not too little either). I'd buy it again but don't think ill have to, quality is good.

The quality of these bad boys is amazing! I've had a front wicker basket by Nantucket for two years now and I loved it, but I have been using my bike as a commuter more so I needed more space. I tried wire baskets, I made my own wooden crate to attach to the back rack, but nothing works as beautifully as these guys. They slide right on (I lift the back on my rack up, put them on, and then close it just so they stay extra snug), and they hold quite a bit. I purchased two, one for each side of my bike.I was worried that the hooks would mark up my bike, and while they do have a layer of plastic over them so they don't completely wreck the bike, they do rub a little bit, but at least it's just a scuff mark, the paint remains intact.Most bike panniers have a metal bracket towards the bottom of the bag so you can loop a bungee cord through and secure it to your bike so there's no extra jostling, but these baskets don't actually need it. They aren't going anywhere! Maybe that's because I put them under the moveable part of my back rack, but I'm glad they don't need anything extra. I also love that you can pop them off whenever you want. (Though I'm wondering now how I can find a secure way to connect the baskets to the bike so they don't get stolen off the bike if I want to leave them on it.)Two "negatives":I wish these baskets came with a wicker lid and inner cotton lining, or Nantucket offered options that you could purchase or add on. Those would be great additions for us bikers who travel in rainy conditions.The baskets aren't super wide at the bottom so groceries take a little rearranging. I wish they were wide enough to carry my grocery bag, even if it means the basket itself is shorter so that I don't kick it while pedaling.Also, just a note for Canadian shoppers- it is cheaper here on Amazon.ca vs paying for it on Amazon.com and shipping it! :)I get complimented on every ride. Thanks, Nantucket!

I really love the look of this basket. I got tons of compliments on it.The only problem is that the lid doesn't open completely.

Smaller than I expected but really sturdy and well made. Looks beautiful carrying around the market getting my produce, cheese, and bread. Great for picnics in the park in the summer.
