Title: Perfect for Campus Life – Sturdy, Stylish, and Practical!
Review: I bought the Retrospec Apollo Bike Basket for my daughter, who's starting college this fall, and it's been a game-changer for her campus commute!She loves the classic look of the basket—it adds a bit of vintage flair to her bike, which she pairs with modern gear. But beyond just the aesthetics, this basket is incredibly practical. It’s surprisingly spacious, easily fitting her textbooks, a water bottle, and even a light jacket for those unpredictable weather changes. The sturdy construction ensures that it doesn't wobble or sag, even when she has a heavier load.Installation was a breeze—took her all of 10 minutes, and she was ready to go. The basket stays securely in place, which was one of my main concerns. Plus, the handle is a nice touch, making it easy to carry when she wants to take it off the bike and bring it into class or the library.Overall, this has been a fantastic purchase. It’s made her daily rides so much more convenient and stylish. If you’re looking for a durable, functional, and chic bike basket, the Retrospec Apollo is an excellent choice!

Title: Perfect
Review: I love this little basket! I use it on the front of my bike to keep my bag in as I'm riding. It looks adorable and is very durable. It's held my entire backpack when I've ridden to class, which I wasn't expecting. I also love how it's removable so I can take it off and use it while shopping, then reattach for the ride home. It's easy to reattach by putting the basket handles down, and locks back into place securely so I'm not worried about it falling off. mid-ride I'm also a big fan of little velcro piece that can attach to the bike for extra stability. I really enjoy this basket and have gotten multiple compliments on it. Perfect for anyone who uses their bike while running errands or even just as a place to keep your belongings during your ride!

Title: Perfect and simple design
Review: Basket is strong and stable. Has good adjustability in order to find a good angle. Carried 10 lb bags of ice on bumpy dirt roads many times with no issue. I like that it disconnects so quickly and easily. Other Electra brand basket broke after one use. This basket is going strong and i imagine will last a long time.

Title: Great basket, but doesn’t support full weight
Review: I love this basket and use it almost every day. It is very easy to use and install, and it is a great size and shape. It fits well onto my bike, and the basket is super easy to take on and off of the mount. It’s really handy when grabbing a few groceries or for carrying your lunch or a jacket.I saw some people saying they had issues with the basket falling off of the mount when going over large bumps. I also had this issue, but I was able to resolve it by placing bungee cords in an X across the top to both secure the handles to the basket and prevent items in the basket from bouncing out.I do have two issues with the basket. First, the basket broke in two paces after only two weeks of use when I went over a sudden bump in the road. The two parts that broke were both on the mount. One part is a piece of fabric with Velcro which secures the mount to the bike frame, and the seam on the fabric completely tore when I went over the bump; I was able to fix this easily using zip ties. The other part is a metal support bar on the mount which became disconnected at the join (this can be seen in the attached image). I have not yet figured out a way to fix this, so when I use the basket now I have to hold the basket with my left hand to make sure it doesn’t wobble all over the place. After the mount broke I weighed the basket and it’s contents to see if it was over the advertised 15 pound weight limit, but all together everything weighed 13.5 pounds. I wouldn’t recommend putting more than 10 pounds in the basket if you want to be on the safe side.My other issue with the basket is simply that when full, it blocks the lower beam of light from my headlight, making it harder for me to see at night, and the design of the basket doesn’t let me attach my headlight to the front of the basket.

Title: Easy to use
Review: This basket is great! It is firmly secured to the bike, but it pops right off when you pick up the handles, so you can use it as a reusable shopping basket! 5 starsUPDATE:I've been using the basket for about 2 months now, and while I'm still happy with it, a few things have popped up1) I have 2 different bikes, and the handlebar mount doesn't fit as well on one bike, which puts it in danger of popping off the handlebars unless it's loaded. Be aware, and keep at least a small load in the basket!2) As another review noted, it's easy to have the end caps pop off the handles (it's happened twice to me). This makes the basket unsafe, but it's easy to fix. Just buy screw end caps of the right size at your local Home Depot or other hardware store.

Review: Basket is sturdy and strong. Love that it detaches and becomes a shopping basket with 2 handles. However....it does not fit my bike - which is the same brand. Also it scratched the paint, and is set too high so not only do the contents bounce out, the basket bounces right off the bike. Good concept, but lousy execution.
